I'll say it's possible to do whatever you want with CSS, if you are
creative enough.

That naturally happens, you must be doing something wrong.

That's not entirely honest. The first zen garden design by Dave Shea
might have been AAA/508, but there have been a lot that broke the
rules. Don't let it fool you. It's very hard to acheive AAA anyway.

Why don't you use a cookie + php to handle CSS changes, like a link to
turn styling off, or a link to turn off images and make text bigger,
etc. It's better than making a seperate text only version.
