Uh... I have no idea :-). There might have been a list on the wiki once, 
but there doesn't seem to be one any more. I'd see if you can catch 
boemann and/or anyone else working on the style in #oxygen, and see what 
the best way to proceed is. Incorrect role uses are usually trivial to 
fix. If I had the time to squash them myself I'd want a wiki list, as 
IMO having a bug for each one would be overkill (inefficient use of time 
managing b.k.o), but others may feel differently.

I do recommend using my "test" color scheme; it's ugly as heck but it 
was designed so that each role is sufficiently unique that errors are 
not only easy to spot, but so that it's easy to visually identify what 
role /is/ being used. (Having that information makes it a bit easier to 
track down the glitch in the code as well.)
