I have to agree with Thérèse on this: the new font sizes are too big.
It feels like the author is shouting at me when I read them.

I also agree on the other topic: the low contrast makes it harder to
find the links.

Yes, things like this are subjective, but that's why we should aim for
layouts with appropriate sizing and simple, high contrast.

If people need larger fonts for readability that's between them and
their browser: browsers have ample ways to allow users to customize
things like that.

What I think would be helpful would be a "sample document" that
provided a full suite of texinfo features including all header sizes,
link types, indexes, etc. that could be displayed with the CSS so we
could get a clear picture of all impacts of changes.

However, I am definitely glad someone is thinking about this because I
do agree that the doc CSS could use some brush-up.  Hopefully this
doesn't discourage more work here!
