No. That's the point. If I understand Ryan's view, CSS class names from
the Fresnel point of view are just hooks that can be convenient to use
by people who might want to do CSS styling of the output. The are
convenient because they offer a coherent "tagging" scheme of elements of
the output that can easily be exploited for creating CSS (or SVG, or
even other) styling rules.
So there is not "predefined" stylesheet that everybody has to load,
parse and apply. There might be some indication of where a stylesheet
that uses these might be found, but it is not mandatory to process it.
Ryan, correct me if I'm wrong in my interpretation.

No.

No I don't think so. fresnel:stylesheetLink still exists, but it's no
longer core. Basically, only formatting, but no styling is left in core
(except for the hooks by themselves).
Again, Ryan, correct me if I'm wrong.
