Sorry, I used the wrong return address to send this before and thought I resent
it but I guess not.

That's okay, that's the section most people are going to be guaranteed to look
at, so imho the most important one to fix up. The contrib can be done as we go.

Heh, well... Sorry, had to finish cringing for a second. ;)

You're right that the W3C XHTML validator doesn't complain when you do this
(even with XHTML strict). However, when you paste the line:

.drupal-link/admin/aggregator { color: red; }

into the *CSS* validator, it gives a parse error. Since browsers parse both
XHTML *and* CSS, I don't think we can really do this. :\ Though it does not
screw up Firefox today, there's no telling that it won't screw up Konqueror or
Safari or Opera or IE, etc. either today or some point down the line. If it
needs to be done, better to do it once and get it right imho.

Sorry. :(
