Interestingly enough, as soon as I sent you my last email, I sort of came up with a similar possible scenario myself. Thanks for the clear explanation. In that case I would suggest (IMHO, of course) that this particular user may be best served by selecting the "accessible" (as much as I hate the word) stylesheet which makes everything visible (and, in addition, could expand acronyms/abbreviations and write out all accesskey definitions via CSS :before and :after). Sure, in an ideal world the default style of a site should already do this, but this more often than not clashes with aesthetic sensibilities of designers and/or clients...
