From what I see in the browser, the browser is used to having a ton of CSS to process. While we are trying to replicate as much of Flex as we can, we also don't want to blindly replicate all of Flex. That's why the UI set isn't 100% backward compatible, and in this case, why we are going to rely on browser CSS instead of trying to make the browser implement Flex CSS. We will likely have a skin-able component set some day, but the realization is that if you don't use Royale, you are probably going to have to learn more about CSS that you did when you used Flex. So, as long as the CSS you would normally have to apply if you weren't using Royale works when you do use Royale, that is the minimum. If we can do better than that, great, but not currently a huge priority for me.
So, if I'm not using Royale and just using HTML/CSS/JS and overriding the default in some CSS theme, my choices are, IIRC, to set styles on a component, or add a class selector, or override an existing class selector from the theme. We are pretty much offering the same, I think.
