I agree it would be a nice feature to be able to override certain CSS styles from a menu in the Kobo Reader (text-align, line-height, paragraph top/bottom margin and text-indent), but I'm not holding my breath. One option I think would be easy for them to implement would be for the kobo Reader to ignore CSS styles altogether.

I'm not sure I get how this works -- the creator being the source of the spacing. Kobo books consistently have the double-space between paragraphs, and lack an indent for new paragraphs. Everyone would need to be providing the same files to Kobo for this to be a style originating with the supplier.
Our company has books that were converted to ebook prior to our Kobo relationship, and we later provided Kobo with the exact same files for Kobo availability. The non-Kobo version has paragraphs properly formatted: no space between paragraphs, first line indented. The Kobo version has the extra space and no indent.
And if you look at the 100 preloads, they all have the Kobo formatting, but their source is Project Gutenberg, and the ebook files there don't have that formatting.
It seems to me that Kobo is setting these styles.
