:: Similarly, anyone can override default behaviour for classes, such as the class="external text" to change the style of external links only. Of course, all of this works as simply as that, only if we don't embed in-line styles in elements.
:: You've made a lot of progress with giving good accessibility advice here, and all of it will also be useful for those working on the usability project – good accessibility and good usability have a habit of going together.

:::Yes, one can override most global choices in their own skin css file and it's a good thing. It's very important accessibility-wise. Users can select/add a style sheet directly in their browser and have it applied for all websites (or may even be able to have website-specific style sheets). The [http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#important-rules !important declaration] is made especially for this purpose: it overrides the website's style sheet and inline styles.
:::Still, the default appearance should not change. When users customize style sheets it's their responsibility and choice (and needs). The default appearance should be consistent nonetheless.
:::"I'm somewhat colour-blind between the default blue link and the default for a visited link": as many of us average users. The usability team received a lot of complaints about it. But strangely - especially for a usability team - they did not take this feedback into account. WTF?
