You are providing information about the format of the file that is  
being linked to for users of screen readers, text browsers, browsers  
with CSS disabled, etc, etc.

How are non-screen reader users, with CSS enabled web browsers  
supposed to get that information?

If they can't, what is the point of providing the information at all?
