George, that's exactly what I was mentioning earlier. :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/Redesign_user_preferences#The_Appearance_menu Feedback welcome!
(Ideally it would Not be in Special:Preferences, but would instead be a menu that all users, even readers who are not logged-in, can use. Saved in cookies/localstorage, if the user isn't logged-in.) I included "Appearance" as well as "Accessibility", partially because they often overlap, and partially because FLOE and GPII do the same, eg http://www.floeproject.org/prefsEditors.html (both the top-right live-example of "Show display preferences", and the video).
