Simple: because Drupal is not JUST a development framework. It is, out<br>of box, a functional web site CMS. A lot of stuff that we take for<br>granted (having an 'edit' tab when we have perms to change a node, for<br>example) are handled by that CSS file. Obviously, there's a case of
<br>creep somewhere along the line as unecessary CSS code snuck in that goes<br>way beyond those basics. All the styles for drawing archive.module's<br>calendar, for example, would best be moved into archive.css and included
<br>as needed IMO.<br><br>Come to think of it, that's a nice idea for a patch.<br><br>But, to return to the question, eliminating all CSS from core would be a<br>definite mistake IMO. Stripping down drupal.css to a bare minimum,
<br>though? I'm all for that.<br><br></blockquote></div>
