Please do. I think your rules make sense, but it's difficult to
judge them without trying the task and finding out how well each
can be satisfied without making the task impossible.
If the default goes from well readable but not highlighted to
barely readable in parts, then that would IMO be a pretty big
failure. The minimum goal should be to not make things worse
overall on any of the most common setups.
That's a good point. Unfortunately, that leaves very few options.
If we are to stick to the tenets, we would need to remove nearly
all use of color, even from the "Error" and especially "Warning"
labels, as those are close to unreadable there.
Um, I don't think that's possible.

The question is how many users are actually ruled out by this.
Benefiting a large number of people at the expense of a few is
a reasonable approach in this case.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this.
