/Please/ don't do this.

I promise ;-)

When I'm working on some HTML and layout, I try to keep in mind a couple of my relatives that have vision handicaps. One has a severe color blindness, which makes me careful about using colors alone to indicate significance, navigation, etc. The other is legally blind and must use very large fonts to be able to read the text at all. It helps that I also spent a few years working with computing aids for the handicapped, way back in the day. One of the better reasons to move all the formatting out of the HTML and into the CSS is that it makes life easier for the "screen reader" software that the vision impaired often use. And I used to be know a deaf fellow who taught me about using a single medium (like sounds) as the only user feedback for an action (don't).
