?style=light - add white space to sides of text

Title:
?style=light - add white space to sides of text

Area:
styles

Summary:
put in white space (inch and a half maybe?) on both sides of the text, so the text column is only about 8-9 inches wide

Description:
(Per recommendation, copying my comment to dw-news 2010-09-08):

(quote) Favorite New Things - #2, this is the part that I adore -- adding a one-touch ?style=mine or ?style=light link(end quote)

Absolutely. Due to mild vision issues, I use this on most posts not taken directly from my "flist" page.

One question/suggestion for the formatting on the ?style=light: would it be possible to put in white space (inch and a half maybe?) on both sides of the text, so the text column is only about 8-9 inches wide? (Again due to those same mild vision issues, it is difficult to track lines clear across the width of the screen.)

Thank you so much for a great site!

I was assuming she'd mostly be reading things on the same monitor, and I find margin easier than max-width when I don't know what browser the other person's using; max-width is really really buggy in IE.
