I’m sorry bybe but you’re missing the point here. Everything you said is absolutely true and perfectly fine. But nothing applies to the specific problem I stated above. Let me elaborate. If you have a cached stylesheet with the .text-center class, the browser still has to go through the DOM to find the elements. Whereas elements with an inline style have it directly applied and the browser can directly apply the style (without any further DOM search). Other CSS rules can only overwrite it with !important.

If you think the second argument applies to the given case, please specify how. Supporting more features is obviously irrelevant when the question deals with only one feature. | |
