Summary

This extensions adds CSS to various web specs to make them easier to read. It only affects specs on w3.org, w3c.github.io, whatwg.org and ecma-international.org/ecma-262

Text is larger, with a more relaxed contrast than black-on-white (but still a ratio of 10:1) A native font stack is used for quality fonts rather than default sans-serif and Arial. On large screens, text is limited in width to 600px, so it doesn't stretch the full width, but notes and examples still break out.
