+1, for respecting a user's choice (browser settings/preferences). On the other hand, choosing a particular style for using the wiki is also a user choice. This is also why I think that such a choice (for a style/CSS) should be opt-in, with the default being vanilla HTML. Instead, the current default appearance is a particular CSS style. But at least users do have a choice of styles, including one that is pretty much vanilla HTML.
