Certainly should. The browser must have a default style. The web designer can then override those defaults, but should take some care doing so.
As a Web developer I disagree.
The browser theme should style its user interface only.
That is what almost all available browser themes do anyway.
The browser theme should have the capability of altering page content, which is already does have, and is limited to resolutions, sizes and colors NOT specified in the document code.
Gone are the days of plain html coded text websites.
A properly coded browser skin or window manager theme should not ever, by default, override the content styles specified in Web documents. To do so directly conflicts with W3C standards. GTK and QT themes which do that are poorly coded by lazy folk.
