Can jQuery-UI safely be used without the CSS assets?

Question

Can jQuery-UI safely be used without including the CSS assets? Google hosts the JS file, but I don't see any references on that page to the jQuery-UI CSS resources. What problems or issues can I expect if I include only jquery-ui.js?

By "safely," do you mean "will it have the right appearance?" - no. – Buoyant

The CSS files are also hosted: #820912 – Apeman

One problem is that your site will look horrible. – Cerement
