I don't find this insistence on strict separation of
issues very helpful - in the ideal world people would
all read up on accessibility, but in the real world
they don't, and therefore every opportunity should be
taken.
In addition, it is no more an accessibility issue than
the comment that is in the CSS spec that background
should be specified with color - what is the
difference between:
Author:
BODY {
color: black;
}
User:
BODY {
background: black;
}
And
Author:
BODY {
color: red;
}
User:
A {color: red;
text-decoration: none}
?
