That was my instinctive reaction at first as well, but I cannot imagine a case where you would use --selfcontained and not also want some CSS.

- for local preview, it's a plus if it looks good, right?
- if it's fed to a website, you're probably not using --standalone, since the site generator or whatever does that part..?

It's also worth considering that not all HTML output is fed to a
browser. I've used Pandoc to feed to local previews, or to sites that
can ingest HTML and work with it. It's probably embedded into some
pipelines someplace as well.

I appreciate the thought on this, but I'm not sure it's something we
want on by default - and it's also something that can be implemented
fairly easily by the user editing their default template.
