Comment (by hnla):

 >  Right now, "Buttons" is above "Formatting" and the "Buttons" section
 declares    "a.button:hover". Since the top-level a:hover is below this,
 a:hover's color will take precedence over what is declared for
 a.button:hover.

 @r-a-y sorry to highlight that struckthrough paragraph :) but in principle
 this is correct, the more generic site wide applicable style would be
 described first e.g a:hover this sets your general required styles then
 later where required you would adjust this for something particular, this
 honours the notion of the 'Cascade' even though later styles would infer a
 heavier specificity through descendent selectors or classes.

 Ok so in this instance things are not upset but the feel is wrong the
 lesser weight declaration should precede more specific styles.

 At the moment I'm still knee deep in trying to fathom the structure I like
 and am partly hampered by the fact that I'm working things slightly arse
 about face as I'm actively writing styles / rulesets then jumping back and
 fourth re-structuring things as and when I realise something doesn't make
 sense  which is a horrendously slow process and far from ideal also I
 don't want to conflict with Karmatosed's start on this which is overall
 working out well.

 If I can make a little more headway next two days in my actual structure (
 I am also working to a slightly different approach with multi sheets,
 separating framework structure out)I may post it for comparison.

 Part of the reason I mentioned earlier the notion of using this exercise
 as a starting point for setting out a new set of sheets and markup files
 was due to there being some benefit to being able to start clean
 describing the ideal structure and naming conventions for elements, an
 exercise which I think would stand future possible bp-default themes and
 also a base for using with custom themes in good stead, handy to have
 ready to use.
