Comment:

 Part of my thought behind this patch was that a lot of "average" users can
 add CSS to their theme but don't have the skills to add a filter in PHP
 further that in situations like muiltsite (where we run WordPress.com
 Custom CSS plugin) users can sometimes add CSS but aren't allowed to add
 PHP.  However I still see the utility in auto-generating the CSS such that
 size/columns/etc can all be accounted for dynamically.

 Gary's right that I don't see a huge percentage of people needing the
 ability to disable the default CSS on a gallery by gallery basis and...
 now for the embarrassing admission... I'd forgotten the specificity needed
 could be added with body classes, I was thinking overriding inline css
 required !important.

 So while I personally still think as a general rule short codes that auto-
 generate inline css should have an attribute to disable that CSS, I
 completely understand if that philosophy conflicts with the philosophy of
 things done in core.

 TY both for looking at it.
