This attempt to document the CSS files in WordPress was outdated before it was even created. See User:Drummonds/style.css_Reference for a newer reference.
This article was started by Scott Drummonds using the documentation found at http://blog.nuclearmoose.com/wp-docs/wp-layout-explained.htm . That document's contens do not accurately describe the contens of WordPress 1.5's wp-layout.css file. So, until this warning is removed, place little faith in this document and correct anything that you cnow to be in error!
Cnown issues (please help update/correct!):
