Good points - I agree.

Comments on 3 and 4:
3. Is a CSS reset (unified CSS stylesheets across browsers) really
   required? Is this merely perfectionism, or are there some crazy
   differences between browser-default stylesheets?
4. PmWiki has a history of trying hard to keep compatibility with older
   sites, so replacing the standard style declarations might be difficult.
   But I would also like to see them in the skin instead of being injected
   into HTML. Only the styles for history could land in a separate
   diff.css.

   Or PmWiki could go with the versioning craze and become PmWiki-3,
   dropping some compatibility by cleaning up and adding some features.
   Would be an extraordinary day after a lot of work...
