Thus we would need variables that are common in most templates and
should be documented as required for templates and available for
plugin developers:
__body_text_color__
__body_bg_color__
__link_color__
__link_color_visited__
__link_color_hover__
__link_color_active__
__header_bg_color__
__header_text_color__
__footer_text_color__
...


I think those examples are way too many. Maybe a compromise between a very small subset (I suggested 4) and a full set of all possible variants would do:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
  text, text_hi, background, background_hi, neutral, neutral_hi
  extern, existing, missing
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Whereas neutral and neutral_hi would be neutral colours between the four other dominating colours. (Neutral in the default template: #66666 and #f5f5f5).

I can't see why more are needed for plugin developers.

Its just a matter of defining what variables are critical.

For templates this is the minimal subset, these are the critical ones. They are the only ones that make sense in *every* template. Template developers would add more different ones by themselves if they want to (but should always keep these 9).
The default template itself would add at least 5 more.

Can we agree on these nine?
Hmm ... and, maybe, "border" (= 10)!?

If we do it, we should keep the old variables in the style.ini as well. At least until the next release.

Any more thoughts, ideas, comments?
