Plain Text Accounting

There seems to be a general return to plaintext tools like HN: danluu.com, plumebio.com and lite.cnn.com

I think it has always been popular in the bubble that frequents HN, I wouldn't go that far to say there's a general return to plain text.

The rest of the world would still think it looks like the website is broken if it looks like lite.cnn.com

For me it's the opposite. In "regular" cnn.com I obtain an empty page (probably due to my overzealous adblocker), yet in lite.cnn.com I can read the news.

Yes, but you are "in the bubble that frequents HN" ;)

I had no idea that CNN had a "lite" version. Do you know any other major sites that have lite versions?
