For the most part, this is correct. There is still a lot the designer can do 
to help the browser out, though. However, dev.ruby-lang.org isn't too bad in 
terms of accessibility - at least it doesn't have red-on-green, which would 
cause more difficulties for the colour blind. For a lot more on designing web 
pages to make them more accessible, a handy link is Mark Pilgrim's "Dive into 
Accessibility" at http://diveintoaccessibility.org/
