That is right. But if you work with modern CSS you in fact have few HTML 
Markup in an extensions. There is seldom need to alter it at all. You 
control the output with CSS. If there are one or two points that make 
sense to configure, you can implement that in TS constants. People who 
are installing extensions should at least know how to set some constants.

Then it makes a difference if you build extensions for common community 
usage or for individual customers.
