Well, it’s also why we now have the things like the Stylish and
Greasemonkey add-ons for Firefox, and the http://userstyles.org/
resource on the Web (not to mention the whole world of “unusual”
Web browsers, such as Lynx.) That is: the /readers/ too want to
tailor that “look and feel” to /their/ tastes, to get rid of the
poor design choices of the Web publishers, – and to thus improve
their “Web reading experience.”
