On a related tangent to this, actually:
I have, in the past, provided users with a "color blindness"
preference. I'm not a big fan of preferences overall (too much clutter)
but a "visually-impaired/color blind" one is a preference I'd not fight
and would even welcome.
What such a preference would do would be to load special style files
that would do certain things (like change the diff colors to something
more preferable). Sometimes these changes are *horrible* looking to
people with color vision, other times not (one site I worked on we
turned all links to be underlined).
Obviously, the site needs to work for color blind users even without a
preference, but it may be possible to make it *nicer* for them.
