The problem is that stylesheet order doesn't actually matter. CSS is
all about specificity of the definitions.

For overriding plugin CSS, usually I can get away with the simple
trick of adding "body" to the front of their own rule definitions. So
if they use "div.xxx span.yyy", then I can override it with "body
div.xxx span.yyy".

Having it load your CSS later really doesn't accomplish anything.
You're relying on an undefined behavior that is specific to the
browsers you're testing with. Later rules doen't actually override
earlier matching ones in the spec, it's just the way your browser
happens to work.
