Overall, yes; however, the discussion at one point led to the issue of 
web-page based documentation, at which point I suggested that the webmaster 
could choose a style sheet for the current default KDE style/allow the user 
to choose one and note the setting in a cookie.  If, however, some of the 
widgets were rendered in the user's current style--using overflowed boxes-- 
and some in the style defined by the webmaster then the results wouldn't be 
pretty.
