And, I wonder, with reflow in play:

How can any visual designer test all of the possible instances? I ponder how many different devices, resolutions, and screen sizes there might be...

As a formerly sighted person the task seems ominous to me. I'm hoping you will enlighten me how a segment of a background image that is white will allow my low vision and/or color blind colleagues have equal access to HTML text that is also white...

I use assistive technology (NVDA, JAWS, and Voiceover) to get around the issue but not everyone knows how to use assistive technology.

Thanks,
David
