Rephrasing: better + inclusive use of prepositions
Follow
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/inclusive-communication/inclusive-language-words-to-use-and-avoid-when-writing-about-disability
to mention disabilities directly with adjectives rather than
prepositions.

Fix my over-use of "with" by using more appropriate prepositions.

Re-organize and clarify some things
- Re-phrase a line referring to a previous section; after some
  re-arrangements, that section is no longer a "previous" section.
- Replace spatial terminology ("bottom") with sequential terminology
  ("end")
- Add note on font enumeration without the Font Access API
- Acknowledge testing in grayscale but emphasize that it isn't enough.
- Move defense of link underlines to just after the section on custom
  colors, since it's more relevant to it.
- Add xkcd image into the page instead of just linking, since the linked
  page content is an image that doesn't include a transcript or
  descriptive alt-text.
- Trivial rephrasings
