Thanks Jordan, great feedback and recommendations.

With the 'exception rather than the rule' thing - knowing our division people, if one is allowed to have it, others will want it as their default too :-/ Maintaining the additional CSS, adding to our already hefty CSS footprint, is a development and maintenance concern. Using cookies (which makes perfect sense) adds a little extra development time (we have a huge platform and codebase).

These are some of the things we'd need to consider should we go with this. Our developers are already committed up to their eyeballs in every sprint for several quarters in advance. Obviously this may need some further discussion with management.

What would be interesting - attach analytics to that style switcher button -- and see what kind of story the numbers tell.
