Do browsers support `switching off' displaying CSS? I don't see such an
option in my Netscape 4.7, unless it means "Dynamic fonts" as it...

That is my main concern actually, that we would perhaps be spending a lot of
effort on the design, and that we would never be able to provide
satisfactory design for a group of users. Debian's site isn't a typical
mainstream site most of the visitors of which mainly use the latest Internet
Explorer beta and who all have Flash and MS Office fonts installed[1]...
IME our audience is quite diverse WRT OSes and browsers, which makes this
team's job more troublesome.
