Beg to differ.
Its because the external is low priority that I like it.
It means that the end user takes precedence.
Bill Loughborough has a saying, author proposes, user disposes.
Basically means that if I (the reader) need to do things to it,
then you(the author) ain't gonna stop me!
If I need 24 point yellow on white to access the info, then I can get it.

WAI evidenced the need for that priority.
