>>5You didn't read correctly:
[b]Forcing[/b] one of background and text colour, but not both.
Suppose I like my pages to default to green text on a black background? (Yes, I actually got email from a reader who does this!)
If you set your background color to white (or worse still, orange — this has happened too!)
IoW, he is talking about the contrast that must be implemented between background and foreground, esp in text. But above all, he is against the forcing of any style sheet. Only the user should decide.
I also like his take on images and media. Those things should have alternatives for TUIs AND they should be loaded last. IoW, the imperative content gets sent out first, then the other shit can follow. Let The CSS style the rest.
