Readability is useful, though it's not painless to use on most websites. I've said it before and I'll say it again: one of the pleasant surprises of seeing TBL's original WWW documentation posted to HN last year was how readable plain, unstyled HTML markup is. It's almost as if we have a need for two platforms: an unstyled user HTML reader for long-form works, and an HTML+Javascript applications platform for interactive sites and apps. I'm already using Firefox and Chrome somewhat in this way already. |

And readable on any computer, with any OS, with any browser, whether it's going to a screen or a printer or a speaker.
It is baffling why text heavy sites (where the product is the text) get display of text so wrong.
