No. If there is just one or two pages on one site that needs
something a bit different, then styles in the head to override
main *is* a reasonable thing to add (as you say). But if the
changes are to the site as a whole in some respects, then it is
not necessarily reasonable to do this on every page. But it would
be reasonable to have a supplementary sheet to link to and
especially if there are quite a few.
