I'm a little leery of pushing mostly CSS stored in a MediaWiki:... location to style an infobox unless you want it only to be controlled by admins. Using classes makes things look cleaner, but forces you to refer to the .css page to find out things like color values. A good mix of classes and in-line CSS is better to me.

Admins should think about who might want to edit the template before going to all CSS classes/IDs for styling.
