DefaultNewCellStyle can be set on named cell styles in version 6.  This controls 
the new cell style in a cell group headed by a cell of that style.  So, for
example, in the Textbook stylesheet, the Title style has 
DefaultNewCellStyle->"Author".  This overrides the notebook-level setting.

In order to override this, you have to set the DefaultNewCellStyle option on the head group cell directly, or on the cell style being used by that cell in a
stylesheet.
