Yup, I do that with the standard Plone text-size links when the client
insists on them. I would have expected them to have that built in, but
apparently they didn't think of it.

Since this is quite a long page, maybe it's an idea to give every
heading an anchor, so that you could link directly to it instead of
letting me scroll while scanning the headers? ;-)

Well, sometimes it could be good to have a stylesheet with more
contrast, or larger fonts. Of course larger fonts are a browsersetting
as well, but if you make a separate stylesheet for it, you can
rearrange the columns a bit, to make more room for the sentences.
