No ... what? I'm afraid I don't quite follow which of the items you
say no to. It would be very helpful if you could follow standard
quoting conventions, as it prevents context-loss. Thank you in
advance.

Finding a use-case for this is relatively simple. A legally blind person
employing a screen magnification device. Black on black WILL be a problem
for this disabled user despite AT - UNLESS we are to assume that ALL
disabled users turn off or modify stylesheets?
It is also a problem for other users. I am well, and sadly, aware of the
WCAG restriction to disabilities, but that does not alter reality.
