"Also, HN seems to make it hard for people with these impairments to read downvoted comments :P, though they do that to everyone. There should be an option to re-darken a downvoted comment temporarily."
As I mentioned in another response here, Firefox View/PageStyle/NoStyle is increasingly my response to the increasing number of cool but unreadable sites. That will solve your problem of not being able to read downvoted comments.
A quicker and more focused solution is just to drag across the downvoted comment, which shows up in high contrast reverse colors for me.
