CSS styles many things, not just text.  If you have concrete ideas, 
questions, or proposals that relate to even the conceptual field 
where styling is separated from content, then I think you will be 
considered (closer to) on-topic.

Very useful indeed, particularly if you have proposals that set the 
styling so that the content becomes more consumable by that person 
(even if they need help in creating the style sheet).

Concrete proposals, please, or at least ideas or criticisms that 
address CSS as it is.
