We also don't want to make it incompatible from previous versions without a good reason. Using "unlet g:html_use_css" to disable using CSS is certainly a bad idea. It conflicts with the previous meaning. Having both a g:html_use_css and g:html_no_css variable gets confusing. A user may set one and forget about the other, then needs to read documentation to find out which one prevails. We should require a variable not only to exist but also be not zero. I think the documentation already explains it that way. Some code may not check the value, there is no real need to change that. -- DENNIS: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
