I can *absolutely* assure you that it is not Bikeshed. I hate an 
argument from authority just as much as the next folks but given that I 
wrote that code I think I can make that statement with a modicum of 
confidence.

You do note correctly that a number of Bikeshed quirks are followed. 
There's a reason for that: the stylesheet was initially designed to work 
with Bikeshed documents. It was easier to get the markup to match that 
than to rewrite it.
