Not exactly.  In testing I've discovered it won't override PmWiki
defaults that come from stdmarkup.php, at least not in PmWiki 2.1.26
it won't.[1]

I also notice that styles from Main.php appear *after* styles from
Main.HomePage.php.  I would have expected the reverse.  Is that a
feature or a bug?

<style type='text/css'><!--
  ul, ol, pre, dl, p { margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; }
  code.escaped { white-space: nowrap; }
  .vspace { margin-top:1.33em; }
  .indent { margin-left:40px; }
  .outdent { margin-left:40px; text-indent:-40px; }
  a.createlinktext { text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; }
  a.createlink { text-decoration:none; position:relative; top:-0.5em;
    font-weight:bold; font-size:smaller; border-bottom:none; }
  img { border:0px; }
