!important attribute in StyleSheet rule ignored

Question

I have a JTextPane which I am inserting HTML into. I have a StyleSheet which states
that p tag text whould be blue. This is flagged as '!important' and should overide in-line
tags. In the HTML, I have used a variety of in-line tags (font, style and p tags) specifying that the text should be green. It always displays green even though the StyleSheet rule should overide it and display blue.
Any ideas how I can increase the priority of the StyleSheet defined rules?
/**Component initialization*/
private void jbInit() throws Exception
jEditorPane1.setContentType("text/html");
contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(borderLayout1);
this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
this.setTitle("Frame Title");
contentPane.add(jEditorPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
StyleSheet style = new StyleSheet();
style.addRule(" p { color: #0000ff ! important; }"); // blue = 0000ff green = 00ff00
HTMLDocument doc = new HTMLDocument(style);
doc.setParser(new ParserDelegator());
jEditorPane1.setStyledDocument(doc);
// All these lines display green
// String line = "<font color=#00ff00><p>some text</p></font>";
// String line = "<p><font color=#00ff00>some text</font></p>";
String line = "<p style=\"color: #00ff00\">some text</p>";
javax.swing.text.Element e;
for (ElementIterator i = new ElementIterator(doc); (e = i.next()) != null; )
if ("body".equalsIgnoreCase(e.getName()))
     break;
doc.insertAfterStart(e, line);

Answer 1

" As already mentioned this supports CSS. We don't support the full CSS spec. Refer to the javadoc of the CSS class to see what properties we support. The two major CSS parsing related concepts we do not currently support are pseudo selectors, such as A:link { color: red }, and the important modifier."
The above is from the javax.swing.text.html.StyleSheet API documentation.
