Comment (by filosofo):

 JohnONolan: But "badly coded" is the key.  It ''is'' the theme author's
 fault if she is using a rule like `li:before`, because it applies to every
 list element, globally.  A rule like that unquestionably could be better
 targeted.  Furthermore, the admin bar is an immediate child of the `body`
 element, so it's trivial for theme authors to avoid targeting it.

 Besides, practically speaking it will be impossible to account for every
 obscure CSS variation without a ridiculously-bloated CSS ruleset.  That's
 why I suggest striking the golden mean that has a smallish number of rules
 yet a minimum of disruption.

 ocean90: the wp.com theme repository has 119 themes.  Did you really test
 all of them?  In what browsers?
