 It's not ''only'' about the standard. Inline CSS is a pain in the rear for
 Theme developers to override - and it is the ''Theme developers'' who
 should be defining ''presentation style'' for the Gallery markup, ''just
 like all the rest of the markup generated by core''.

 Besides, simply removing the inline style generated by core will ''not''
 cause galleries to look "unpresentable" for "millions of users". Such an
 assertion is hyperbole to the extreme.
