anduin, quantum, my host, your host... If any of us are using
different stylesheets, then we might see different behavior in the
rendered content.

That would be the drawback to this approach. If we do go back to using
the host's stylesheets, then it should be completely clear in the
sources (or somewhere else) what version is expected. Possibly we can
check and enforce this in the Makefile.
