LP can be blamed for a lot of bad things, but the very light grey on 
bright white is not his baby.

Yep.  And then google's great need to ape everything Apple resulted in 
their adoption of the same stupid 'artisticness'.

Slightly already there, although I do set Firefox's "zoom text only" 
setting as the google idea of "zoom whole entire screen" is just 
totally asinine.

But the result is sometimes overlapping text where some idiot 
/designer/ thought it proper to include css to force fixed width boxes 
for their tiny text on their 300dpi macbook monitor.  Nevermind that 
HTML natively already sizes those same boxes to fit content if they 
just leave things alone.
