Are you using XML? If not then HTML 4.01 STRICT might be more
appropriate.

Most people don't complain or give you feedback. They just go
elsewhere. People who complain should be treasured, they are helping
you improve. From an accessibility point of view you need to start
with the proper structure, content first, then html markup, then style.
A high contrast style sheet is a fine idea, but not absolutely
necessary. what you should not do is take choice away from the user,
such as by trying to fix font sizes.

You don't know that.
