MediaWiki itself also implements quite a bit of visual styling. Things like
wikitables and thumbnails are the most obvious (although technically you can
opt out of them by not including basic style modules), but there are also, say,
the styles for tables like the one on Special:ListFiles (which can't be opted
out of at all at the moment).

I was under the impression that MediaWiki UI, while geared towards Vector, is
supposed to be reasonably neutral and usable with most skins. Admittedly,
they're completely unlike default buttons styles on every OS I've ever seen.
