For the next version, this is exactly what we did. The font-family is now
generic (e.g. "sans-serif") and we ditched a whole lot of *-spacing
properties. Not so much because they aren't needed as because I absolutely
*suck* at typography and layout and would rather leave it to browser
defaults then inflict my impressively inept sense of style on people. :-)

And the current state doesn't count as going "wild with colors"? :-)
