Not sure. Browsers like Firefox have a default font color setting that is used if the website doesn't specify a color. I assume WebKit has a similar default color setting, and I'd like it to be initialized to the system default text color at least for input fields. Basically, if it uses system native widgets to render an unstyled input field, it should also use the system native font color that goes along with it. Makes sense, no? If a site actually applies any formatting to the input field, it can divert from the system default at that point. This is also a smarter approach than using user CSS, which would always override the site author's formatting.
