Sensible defaults sound good, until you start asking what is sensible. 
Everyone has their on opinion about what is proper white spacing, what 
is proper setup for thier module.  In the case of eventfinder.css, it 
was trying to float the contents and set it to a width of 200 so it 
would look like a block or something inside the node area.  The problem 
was, this code didn't work on Firefox, or Internet Explorer 6.  Not 
exactly sure what browser this code was originally tested on.

The point is, someone thought, at one time, it might be a good idea to 
make it look like it was, and maybe to them, it was sensible.

:/  Maybe if we came up with a set of Module design standards for people 
to go by.  You've got a good idea, it's just, how do you enforce a 
subjective standard.
