Good point you brought up. I dont intend CSS to be forced at all. The
template sets can choose to use them or not, as mentioned they have to
put {phpgw_css} in their templates <HEAD></HEAD> section for them to be
even included in the final html file.
I also plan to do some quick browser detection to make sure they are
safe.

I think the user will just have to choose a template set that does not
make use of CSS if they dont want CSS at all. If a template set makes
heavy uses of the CSS classes/definitions and then they arent inserted
into the html HEAD section, I think the results may be a mess. I will be
doing some testing on this option tho.

This is probably how it would end up anyways, but I cant be certain of
even that just yet. I think browser detection can solve a good deal of
this tho.

Template/Interface selection as well as browser detection is the likely
solution to this as well.

Good points
