And why are you shutting off CSS in the browser?
Because sometimes, you don't have a choice? Sometimes, all you have is an 80x24 dumb terminal. You may use a browser then that's CSS aware, but all it says is "Can't change the font. Can't use colors. Can't draw a border here. Can't change the font-size." Etc.

And sometimes people have specific requirements. They need large, clear, fonts because otherwise, they can't see them. They need black on white, because with anything else, they just can't read it. Their only option is turn off (author supplied) style sheets. They need their own styles, either with a style sheet, or by browser configuration.

That's why pages should be understandable with CSS turned off.
