I agree completely, that's why I suggested themes be able to specify
whether they want it or not (and whether it is embossed or recessed).
That way you can focus your attention on getting it working well for
the default themes, and in the rare cases where it makes things worse
the responsibility is on the theme developer to disable it.  For
legacy themes I agree the default should be to have it.  Just looking
through the themes I only see a handful that I think this might look
worse on.
