Update:
I convinced the client to go a different route.. (much better long term option) Looks like we're gonna scrap both the Dreamweaver template that drives the rest of the site pages and scrap the store embed page as well. (a single HTML page which applies the site look and feel to the Zen Cart store)
.
.

This will all be replaced with a single tableless template which will be applied to all site elements. We will likely convert all the non-commerce pages so that the whole site is done using Zen Cart. (using Zen Carts custom defined pages -- versus EZ Pages) A number of page specific stylesheets will help them maintain a "seperate" look.. This will eliminate the battle of the style sheets which is a huge part of the current issue -- hence the reason for my post.. The blog will remain a seperate entity which will be styled to match the Zen Cart site.
