Well, black on white for a long time is hard on my ancient
eyeballs, and I've been looking at this a lot! ;-)

I think there is a place in the Overview for discussing
such tweaks to vp9cb.css, at the very least.=C2=A0 I really
had no idea how this was going to be received by the
community.=C2=A0 If a lot of people think CSS-challenged newbies
would have a better experience with a default black-on-white
presentation, I'll go with that.
