It's not just a workaround, it's a solution.
Considering how powerful CSS styling is for configuring one's view of PerlMonks, I really don't see why pmdev should implement changes such as this. (The same could be said for Node ids by node titles, but someone went and implemented it without really giving much thought to the wider ramifications.) If anything, pmdev should probably be looking at ways of enhancing PerlMonks' stylability and scriptability.

Two solutions were offered which required no changes to PM code.
If there were no other way to accomplish it, or if those ways were kludgy, then I could see making PM code changes, at least if (as in this case) there were significant demand for it. What I'm concerned about is the proliferation of configuration variables.
I think it would be nice if we could actually reduce the number of configuration variables, in favor of style/script based solutions, but maybe I'm being too idealistic.

Errr, given that I mentioned "different browsers" and no one has posted code that works with Internet Explorer yet perhaps you could explain to me how this is a solution? It's a great workaround (thanks again ikegami) but it shouldn't be the last word on this subject.
Update: We do have some IE code now thanks to pKai in Re^4: Free Nodelet Hack: Nodelets on the left. However, the freenodelet has to be the last nodelet so this is still a workaround.
Update2: Looks like we do have code that works with both browsers now.
