Is the scope of this only the default skin or also the skinning system?

While I have almost no experience actually using the skin system, one
problem I've run into with skins is when they have CSS which modifies
the standard styling of elements. For example applying global styles to
tables, images, etc. without use of classes usually gives problems
sooner or later. Which comes down to having enough CSS classes
available. And it would be nice to have a consistent naming scheme for
these (more recently I've started to prefix them all with 'dsy').
