Is that really what you want?
Hi Liz,

What I really want is to have all content authored correctly, so that it will play well with a user style sheet. Since that isn't possible, my other options are just choosing from the least bad set - ie choose 2 of the following 3:
- Content is reliable (Override Features Work)
- Reading with no surprises (Settings that I set - stay set)
- Content may have easily discoverable high-design layout features.

I think the first two are the correct choice, since they create the least problems for the user/reader.
