this works fine for apps/pages you write yourself indeed (and i think it
would be an awesome idea if canonical could provide such a css set of
defaults on a webserver centralized and under a documented url).

for foreign sites that you don't own you will have to override bits and
pieces of the original css by id or class. this binds you to having to
monitor the css for changes permanently. you can also not proactively
fix this breakage. if a class name or id changes your users will get the
breakage first and your app stays broken for them til you find the time
to fix it.

this requires some heavy engagement and quick reaction from the
maintainer to keep the app looking proper over time ...
