Where is the line drawn? You've just overridden a user's possible
font color, alignment and font family preferences.
So what's the bottom line. Developers put up a style-less page of
text and
hope to heck the users have a nice user style set up in their browser
preferences???!!!
Umm, no thanks. There would be _a lot_ of unemployed designers/
developers
not to mention a hideously ugly and boring internet. On the flip
side, if
users are implementing their own styles, they must be having a
relatively
poor internet experience when visiting the vast majority of sites.
This has been my point all along - *who* decides where the line is
drawn when it comes to styling pages?
If a designer decides that visually the textual content is displayed
at 10px, white on black, with layouts that break like crazy on text
resizing... let him, that's great. If a user has a hard time dealing
with that - disable author styles, use a browser that uses page
scaling/zoom, etc.
In my personal opinion, the major responsibility (notice I said
major, not only) when it comes to site authors is in providing clean,
semantic, valid markup - the responsibility then passes to the
browser vendor to provide tools such as user style sheets, text
resizing, page scaling and other accessibility tools, then the
responsibility passes to the user to use those tools if needed.
