I agree, defining foreground and background colors and making sure pages are readable with high contrast mode is critical. Reliance on CSS images for meaningful content is a continued trend and something that we still don't have a really good solution to. This practice is counter to the whole idea of CSS and solutions to check for HC, use of pseudo classes or use of clipping of inline images aren't optimal. We really need a better solution that is accepted by and adopted by the community.
