But the problem is that those authors who would bother to provide the information are those least likely to require end users to override their styling (and those most likely to make users want to override are those who are least likely to want to allow users to override). To a large extent, this makes it really a users agent issue, and therefore not necessarily require a standard syntax (it might only be a GUI dialogue to select a subsidiary style sheet for a particular site). You could well get by with "broken", "so-so" and "good" styling zones, although some of the worst offenders tend to need special treatment as they do not degrade gracefully when all styling is turned off. I think this should be considered a very important user agent feature if good styling is to survive, as the prevalence of bad styling will result in more and more people turning off elements of styling globally.
