Using CSS is probably the safest and easiest way. No exploits that I know
of. If anything, someone can even write up their own look and feel that
could over ride a list look but it would only be viewable that person's
browser.

Put something like <body id="<mailman-name>"> and allow a user (if they
wanted too) to change anything for their liking.

Other issues however come about - What if a person wants to add a whole
navigation system, or what if they need to add some JavaScript. Maybe, we
could just allow a header and footer to be editable and let people use CSS
for everything else.
