No, it did not register as text, because it was block colour-guified,
which my (other side of 60) mind registered as "commented out - do not
read". The tiny fontsize visually confirmed that it must be
insignificant fine print. Reading the plain text usually works for me -
it just missed useful clues this time. Still, if it works for most, then
it's good enough.

Yeah, whatever you do, someone will misread it. But why does the
"Download CD/DVD images using HTTP." link obscure the fact that it in
reality is "Download CD/DVD/USB images using HTTP." That would help
those of us who go straight to the download options to make a selection.
(Just a suggestion.)
