Details

There should be an option to automatically change the colour of text to ensure 
it is visible. It can be annoying to find text on a page with the same colour as 
the background. Could be expanded to a nice accessiblity feature by ensuring a 
minimum contrast threshold thingi... I might be too much to do per character, 
but per word/line could work.
??? Comments.

Who exactly, or how does a page with the same color text appear with the same 
background?  Seems like this is an issue with the author of the page.  
Ian, could you comment on this? I have a feeling that protecting authors from
their own foolishness may violate some normative portion of the CSS spec...
We already have three ways of doing this.

1. Hit CTRL+A
2. edit userContent.css
3. use the test styles bookmarklet
