I agree, Paul, we could argue on what is the right behavior, but to make it clearer (because I might have been a bit misleading in my initial mail):
I want to get rid of the lines containing "stylesheet" and the two lines following that line because they belong together!
So
	grep -v -A 2 stylesheet FILENAME > NEWFILE
shall give me that new file without the "stylesheet" parts! 
That means the -A has to change behavior when using -v (-A sort of belongs to the -v then)!

The actual behavior you describe, Paul, is one that you probably only very rarely need - I reckon.
Regards
Volker
