Well, that's a bit like making a Bauhaus impression by picking the right
tapestry: the main responsibility lies with the placement and spacing
algorithms, and the stylesheets then have to combine with them into a
coherent whole with a consistent look that avoids making the algorithms
fall apart.

So the stylesheets are sort of coevolving with the algorithms
responsible for the _work_ part of our look.
