We are no longer in the early days of computers.
And we are dealing with open source.

I think that it's nowadays totally easy to separate style elements from
the content and let the *reader* decide what style he/she wants. In
LaTeX we have .sty files, for HTML there is .css etc. etc.

The only issue is if the reader has no choice than to read badly styled
text.
