It would be next to impossible to do anything fancy without serving different style sheets for older browsers. As a rule when I have to get fancy I disable them on IE3, and do seperate ones for NN4.x, IE4.x and a fancier one for later browsers.

    There will be no problem that if, after we CSS the site, the only *style* information that is sent is one that is specified in the theme the user has selected (assuming, of course, that there's a "no style" theme), or in the stylesheet that the user specifies. Just because the CSS classes or ids are there, does not imply that CSS will be applied correctly.

    (Now, extending this further, it would be interesting to allow two different stylesheets that a user can specified, one for NS4, and one for everything else, but I don't think we need to go that far.)
