Stylesheets are one of the easiest ways to produce problems with different browsers. Taking a step like the one you suggest would rapidly result in a site that was only navigatible in recent versions of IE.

That would be completely unacceptable to me since at home I use Netscape on Linux. If vroom took a step like you suggest and problems cropped up I would publically announce my reasons for leaving and if that didn't solve it I would. Certainly the stylesheets at a few home nodes has led to my avoiding certain people's home nodes. But the fact that the problem is localized has made it (almost) acceptable so far.

So I really, really don't want vroom to allow people to use their own stylesheets everywhere.

I understand the proposal like this: When you _browse_ the site, it serves you a link to your style sheet.

If you have a personal style sheet, it doesn't matter if it will break "different browsers". On person, one browser, one style sheet.

That works. Have the stylesheet be per reader, not per poster. Makes sense to me.

I was confusing this with an earlier thread that was definitely per reader.
