Now, if we're to put them in CSS, we must provide well-commented sample stylesheets, and also give some directions in the FAQ. It should be simple for the user to know how to set his own stylesheet options without previous CSS knowledge, and also how to disable the remote CSS when a page doesn't look good.
It'd be great to specify, for instance, a "reading" stylesheet (for low contrast and highcontrast) from our website and to let the user tweak it. Then when he gets to a long page that he wants to read (not just skim), he could disable remote CSS and use the one he prefers.
Some days ago, I started trying to put together a sample style sheet (attached). I got as far as putting in the things that I would find valuable to know, but I _have_ been exposed to CSS a bit in recent months, so it was hard to see how much would have to be spelled out to an intelligent layman and how much would be obvious from context and insulting to spell out. So I...I got stuck. (Strays from topic a bit: The world is filled with things aimed toward experts and filled with things aimed toward ignorant people who can be kept ignorant and separated from their money, but the intelligent layman does not have his needs met.)
