Is there a way to override inline within the <body> a style of an
element but not do it with a style attribute on the element? I know
CSS Inheritance works for some styles, but doesn't appear to work for
margins, etc.

So somewhere at POINT A, I'd like to insert something that affects the
style of the embedded <p> tag that I don't have control over. Could I
just insert some java script to save and restore the <p> style ? Other
options?

From the html 4 specs, section 14.2.2:

Attribute definitions
style = style [p.57] [CN] [p.49]
This attribute specifies style information for the current element.
The syntax [p.57] of the value of the style attribute is determined by
the default style sheet language [p.186] . For example, for [[CSS2]]
inline style, use the declaration block syntax described in section
4.1.8 (without curly brace delimiters).

- which I think does what you're looking for?
