I think we (some of us, at least >"?) agreed that there should be a way
for the user to say "all colours in this buffer should go away", and
that the most practical way to do this would be to introduce a
buffer-local variable (for instance, `inhibit-color') that would be
checked by the Emacs redisplay.  If it's set, then all face `foreground'
and `background' specs would just be ignored.

This would do exactly what people who need it (because of visual
problems) or want it (because they just do) require, without touching on
the other markup issues (for instance, we don't want links to lose their
underlining).

If someone were to create a patch to do that, I'd apply it.  >"?
