I submitted bug #738948, requesting a user option to use the
user-specified background color.  It was closed as WontFix without any
explaination of why that would be a bad idea.  I reopened the bug report
to request such an explanation.  I don't know how long it will remain
open.  See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738948>.

In the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html newsgroup, we are frequently
reminded that Web pages should not attempt to override how users have
configured their browsers.  Here, however, we have a case where someone
decided to have the browser override how users configure their browsers.
 This is just plain wrong.  Can a Mozilla develeoper please explain why
that is not wrong?
