 In `wp-activate.php`, we have a set of default styles that have been
 applied since MU.

 {{{
 <style type="text/css">
         form { margin-top: 2em; }
         #submit, #key { width: 90%; font-size: 24px; }
         #language { margin-top: .5em; }
         .error { background: #f66; }
         span.h3 { padding: 0 8px; font-size: 1.3em; font-family: "Lucida
 Grande", Verdana, Arial, "Bitstream Vera Sans", sans-serif; font-weight:
 bold; color: #333; }
 </style>
 }}}

 Most still make sense as sane defaults, though `font-family` is a bit
 forceful rather than falling back to the theme's (and then browser's)
 default text settings.

 I think we can remove `font-family` and `color` entirely. `padding`,
 `font-size`, and `font-weight` all make sense in context.

 See screenshots for before/after in Twenty Fifteen.
