Point taken, but you probably know that some pages will not be usable in a browser that does not implement CSS. As in, completely unreadable.

There are a great many pages that are not usable on a browser that does not implement JS. None of these things are "hypertext" anymore, the original idea was that all web locations would fall back to simple text rendering of the content, the fact that much of the modern web can't be read on a base HTML renderer is more of a statement of what a website is now - an application server.
