Therefore the correct solution really is for people to apply their own stylesheets if they feel the need.

A solution unavailable to Anonymous Monk but available to you as a logged in user. Personally i think making life a little nicer for Anonny outweighs the few registered users that would have to change things.

But do realize we do try not to break established customs or expectations or whatever, so its unlikely youll notice things if we do decide to change them. (Unless of course our intent is to make you notice, like the new CSS attributes for readmore tags.)
