We've got a lot of those pages online already. And indeed, the correct
accessibility method is a different CSS that reorders the layout.

"Linear" is the wrong concept. It misleads the Working Group.

Oh, you must be kidding. Do you know anything whatsoever about stem widths
and what happens when such widths are mapped to pixel dimensions? Have you
even thought about what happens when you blow up text with thin strokes?
Just *please* do not pretend to know anything at all about typography, let
alone onscreen type.

Reformat, more like it. Aries Arditi has a whole lot of advice on this
that he will not publish. Cf.
