"Font-variant: Normal" won't take effect

| If you look at http://www.trimboli.name/klingon/, you'll see that the
headers on the page are displayed in small-caps. Usually, this is
desired. However, the header "may'vaD ghuHmoH QoQ"* is surrounded by
<span lang="tlh"> ("tlh" for "tlhIngan Hol"), and I have put a
declaration of "font-variant: normal" in the main stylesheet. I can't
figure out why the Klingon title is still in small-caps. I want all
Klingon phrases to appear in normal text, never in small-caps. Can
anyone advise me?
The stylesheets applied to this page, in order, are
http://www.trimboli.name/styles/screen.css
http://www.trimboli.name/styles/klingon.css

I have looked at it with the Mozilla DOM inspector and you have a <span>
element containing an <a> element. While the rules for the <span> are
setting font-variant as normal those on the <a> element result in the
<a> element having font-variant as small-caps.

Aha! I'll have to brush up on cascade order, I see. I just put the
<span> inside the <a>, and the <span> style won. Thanks!
