This is the same kind of issue I've run into with T-Mobile and their adult content filter. I can't turn it off because they use financial data to find out if your 18. So because I didn't have student loans or a credit card I can't disable it without going into a store.

The issue isn't in the base case but derived cases to determine which overrides the other. A div with an id that has another div with a class attribute should override anything done on just the div with the id? But when does the specificity of any chain of just classes become more specific than an id. That is why they have weights.
