maybe its just my lack of understanding of CSS, but if people create their own 

stylesheets, they'll be able to see that it looks wrong and fix it, no?

if no one else jumps up to change and validate these stylesheets, 
particularly the person who did it, i think michele or whoever 
volunteers their time to do so should change them

again, if people choose their own stylesheets, won't it be up to them to 
decide whether or not it looks ok? maybe i'm missing something, but 
they're only going to be allowed to change the stylesheet values we have 
decided on - which are pulled froma pre-defined list in the DB - right?
