Acknowledged.
The default.css will always be the first stylesheet, so it will always be
overridden by any other stylesheets or inline styles.
I think there's a marketting/psychological value to having Tapestry apps
"pop out" as looking good and a little different, but ultimately, its not so
important. I was initially trying for a decent drop shadow look to the
page, but gave up (you just can't do an effective drop shadow without a
couple of nested divs).
What is important is things like the basic tapestry-error styling, working
correctly (but still easy to override) without needing inline styles or
style attributes.

This sounds like it would be good in general, but I have some
misgivings about doing ~too~ much styling. (ie I noticed your body
specifier )
Dojo does a lot of this on some widgets and it has been disastrous.
(Tab / combobox are probably the worst offenders )
Of course if it is just for normal things like styling a component
being used (like error handling ? ) or whatever then it's probably no
big deal. I'd just be careful with things as overarching as doing a
body { } definition.
My head is a little in the sand here though, have you seen other
examples where default css rules have been something people really
liked in other frameworks/etc ?
Don't get me wrong, I do think it's a good idea ...It just seems like
the kind of thing that could easily stay in the extreme realm of being
loved / despised, depending on how it's done.
