How does the user preferences table stores the user's preferred stylesheet?
Is it just an index number, or does it contain the URI for the stylesheet?
If the latter, may I suggest that we allow users to specify the location of
a personal style sheet for wikipedia.
For example, I could then take the Cologne blue stylesheet, change the
things I don't like about it (such as the article text size) and host it on
my own webserver*, point to it from my wkipedia preferences, et voila - a
fully customized view of wikipedia, but I am actually reducing the load on
the wikipedia.org servers by not getting a stylesheet from them.
*actually, I could access it from my PC via file:// protocol, but hosting
it on the web gives me a mobile profile that I can use form any computer.
