Yes, the latter sounds good. I brought up CSS explicitly
because
(1) there are some guidelines that only make sense
for UAs that implement CSS; these guidelines should be
grouped together (at least I think for the moment, although
experience will determine whether this organization works).
(2) there are concepts like "default values" that are well-defined
in CSS (defaults cascade with author and user style sheets) and
so a general term like "UA defaults" should be defined with
the CSS meaning in mind, and should be consistent with it, even
if the definition does not rely on the notion of style sheets.
