I'm definitely in favor of copy-paste not including the line numbers,
and I'm fine with using prefixed CSS rules to accomplish it.

I also find the striping in code views unusual, and jarring when
highlighting is in use.  I'd lean towards leaving the
"parity0/parity1" classes in place (so that people who want striping
can easily have it with a CSS-only tweak), but change the CSS files
included in the default templates to not do anything with those
classes in code views.
