I wonder if they felt that having the toolbar would free them from having
things like contrast baked in?

I've been trying to twist the arms of folks to do this and some thought it
meant they would be liberated from thinking about wcag and we're
disappointed when I said no.

On another note that free shipping message sliding by at the top, has the
odd effect of making me feel queasy.
