I just think the kid in the clock there did a helpful thing, and if you don't want to delete the stylesheet, you don't have to click in the box.
Oh, and you're right: Kobo headquarters should get this fixed (and presumably will!).

+1 to this sentiment.
A lot of the ebooks I've converted for my Kobo have been from nice HTML rips that used standard tags over customizing things heavily in the css. Chapter headings were wrapped in <h3> tags, bolds and italics in their own HTML tags, etc. Just about the only thing I've lost is justification, and indentation in certain cases. And removing the font-size: lines manually fixes those problems if I want to take the time to do that.
Also a suggestion for this tool. Since there is a bug ATM where file names with an apostrophe can trigger the "Content is Locked" ADE message, it might be nice if you added an option to remove them from your output file names. I know its a pretty small thing, I only mention it because it would take all of a couple minutes to implement.
