This does not solve my problem.
It provides a very poor workaround, but then so does changing my color scheme 
back to the the default :-)

Using the Stylesheets tab forces *all* pages to be formatted in one color 
scheme, overriding any other stylesheets. This is not what I want.

I'll give a couple of examples:

http://gcc.gnu.org/
This website contains stylesheets, and currently does the right thing under 
all circumstances.  It is (as I would expect) unaffected by the color chosen 
in the 'Appearance' tab.

https://nowt.dyndns.org/simplepage.html
This is a simple page I put together. It contains no explicit formatting 
information, relying on the browser defaults.
The page background is black, as specified by my kde color scheme (good). 
However the text on the page is also black (bad). There doesn't seem to be 
any way to change this wihout forcing all webpages to use the same style.
I would expect the text color on this page to be controlled by either the 
'Appearance' tab, or my default window kde text color as used by every other 
applications.
