RE: WA - background-image in CSS

Think about what you are saying here.  You are saying that the USER should
be able to determine what is important on the PAGE THAT I HAVE AUTHORED!?
If this is your view of the web, then what is the point of anyone even
posting a web page?

The author of the page is the one who determines what is essential.  This is
the basis of such things as "blogging" and personal journals.

What if you wrote a page, and eliminated a paragraph before you post it.
Are you saying that the user that the author should leave it, and let the
user decide if it should stay or not?

users with disabilities or other reasons for using alternative screen
display
  DESERVE AND ARE ENTITLED TO ALL THE CONTENT, who are "you" to determine
what is "essential" content to me

THIS IS ONE of the major complaints of almost all people with disabilities
in all areas of access.  NO ONE!, period, has the right to determine my
needs and priorities.
