CSS Naked Day, does it affect usability?

I am going to participate in the 2007 CSS naked day on April 5. The creator of CSS naked day, Dustin Diaz believes it is the ideal event to promote web standards. While everyone will be able to see my XHTML for its semantic and structural integrity, it may provide some usability problems. I think promoting web standards is a great idea, however, should we do it at the cost of usability? So I will run a small, very small, focus group. If you find it hard, confusing or just plain annoying to navigate my site on April 5, please let me know and I can try and make the necessary adjustments.

I will be away camping at Mungo National Park over Easter - more importantly CSS naked day - so I will 700 KM away from my computer. Consequently, I will not be able to show off my by disabling my stylesheets for the day personally. Hopefully, however, Guff’s Word Press: Naked Day plugin will handle the job for me, so everyone will be able to see me in my birthday suit, if only for one day.

Hopefully this will provide some useful comments on the structural usability of my site as well.
