100% (as they are _designed_ to be "ignorable", i.e. any page that uses
CSS should be just as accessible without having CSS turned on... and I
haven't heard of any browser where one can't turn it off...)

Yes, I have seen the effect of some CSS on IE3, and that really sucked.
Fortunately the CSS can be turned off and then one will see a view
similar to what Netscape 3 shows, so that isn't really a great
disaster...  :)

Really? I have used CSS colouring on "body" and they showed up just fine
in the copy of IE4 I looked at the pages in at a placed where I worked
during the summer...
