Most emphatically not. The first principle of accessible contents is that the contents be there in the first place. If they are there, and not deeply mangled[1], then they are accessible. It's entirely possible that accessibility of already-accessible contents will be *improved* by a stylesheet, and that's IMO fine. If that's what you meant to say, then I'd reply that you may be reading a little too much into the guidelines. [1] for values of "not deeply mangled" approximating broadly to "conforming with basic accessibility guidelines". -- Nick Kew
