He could, but whatever he picks is going to affect all web pages, not
just AOL. Maybe he picks to make a:link { color: black !important; }
and then goes to a page with a black background. Poof, no links.
I tend to just put up with whatever the author delivers. It's not going
to kill me. For my own web sites, I do assign link colors, the standard
values for unvisited, visited, hover and so forth.

It should... nearly everything a web author does can be overridden --
if you know how. :-)
