Nir:
WAI user agent guidlines may apply to browers which do not
support stylesheets. For those who support stylesheets, this
requirement is indeed trivially satisfied.

Nir:
A user may want to know if an image is a link or not. Also he may
want to know what is the active frame for scrolling with the
keyboard or printing. (These requirments too may be achieved with
stylesheets.)
I think we all agree that good support for CSS2 makes a browser
more user friendly and improves accessibility.
For example a user may override practically all presentational elements:
E.g.,
FONT {font-family: inherit;
font-size: inherit;
font-color: inherit;}
but still the UA guidelines specify these explicitely.
