So you'd add a proviso that this would needed to be added to their new
theme if they changed. It's still a relatively safe change to make and
keeps them away from messing with core files.

Absolutely none thus far. Like Ipstenu, I'm just trying to think ahead
and do the whole girl guide, be prepared, thing. But since I posted that
"fix", I found Otto's plugin which is by far the best solution for most 
in this case.

Understood. I'm still gritting my teeth over the pug-ugly, under-sized,
monospace font in the HTML editor. Who on earth came up with that font
family for ****'s sake? I can only assume it was a non-Win user! Not a
single common mono PC font in the list.

> But there's no real need to cater to that.

Oh - that's a fine line you're walking there! ;-)
If something like this does become a bone of contention for a few
people, it's a good idea to have a safe fix available. Otherwise,
they'll hack core and I've always assumed that this is to be avoided at
all costs.
