I do not think that many web authors who didn't use <h1>, but a <font> instead will if they go to CSS, suddenly will use logical markup.

CSS isn't aimed at such people. It's aimed at the people who realize that depracating the font tag was a good idea, but still need an alternative. Idiotic developers are going to stay idiotic, but only education can help them.

If I'd get a penny for every CSS enabled webpage that was hard or impossible to read when CSS is turned off in the browser, I'd be rich.

HTML is hard to read in notepad. What's your point? And why are you shutting off CSS in the browser? It's not a computationally-complete nightmare like JavaScript.
