A cell style question

In a notebook I want to create a cell style called EmphasisText, which 
must be identical to the default text style, but with a yellow 
background and a black line in front. Hence in the style sheet I entered 
the following:

Cell[StyleData["EmphasisText"],
"Text",
Background->RGBColor[1,1,0],
CellMargins->{{3,0},{0,0}},
MenuPosition->1420]

Here "Text" is used in the hope that all settings of Text will be 
inherited by EmphasisText. But it does not work. Replacing "Text" with 
"Input" or even "Title" does not have any effect.

Of course I can copy and paste all settings for the text style into this 
cell. But that would mean that when in the future the settings of the 
text style change, I have to enter manually the new settings. Is there a 
way for automatically importing the settings for the text cell in the 
cell defining EmphasisText?
