You just hit the nail on the head, Collin. As soon as we offer a style
sheet, unless it's blank, we're assuming some form of control of the user's
possible preferences. And there's nothing wrong with that in my opinion
provided the styles given are reasonable. Unreasonable might include a fixed
font-size, an excessive fixed width, excessively high or low contrast, etc.
Or, the worst one of all would blue text on a white background; I really
hate that one and can't stand it when it's forced on me. Thus I tend not to
visit sites with that style; and that's a preference I can exercise no
matter what the designer/develop says or does.
Respectfully (to those who garner respect),
Mike Cherim
