Yes, we plan on styling the text colors with CSS. The
text colors will be specced in the external style
sheet. The TD background colors will be specced with
inline styles.

We are retrofitting a site, and for several reasons it
will be too timeconsuming for us to put the TD
background styles into the external style sheet.

Actually, I'm wondering about situations where the
user wants to switch style sheets; when they want to
use their own style sheet instead of ours, and they
don't want to see our background colors. Will the
inline styles interfere with their ability to do this?

Thanks,
