All that sounds great.  But from a USER's point of view the problem with most 
"bad" WWW pages can be avoided if the browser is simply configured for 
"text-only" as default.   If and only if a user wants to take a peek at the 
fancy-dancy colours and stuff, it is only a single click away.   Otherwise, 
the user can surf along quite nicely without having to waste the on-line time 
dollar.
