Please keep HN as it is (or expose a way to turn off the new CSS). I browse HN daily from my iPhone, and it works fine. Also, pages load extremely quickly because of the minimalist site design, which I love. Basically, you've already met your goal, which is to "make HN work well on the iPhone" -- it currently works great.

The proposed CSS only triggers for small-screen mobile devices, and as the test pages indicate, it improves readability.

  It should still be optional. The most frustrating thing about browsing the web on the iPhone is when people create special versions of websites for it without providing an option to get to the original site. Keep in mind that the iPhone was designed to browse the web as-is.

    You're right; that's frustrating. But have you looked at the proposal mockups? They're nothing like that -- they fix design issues with the original site that prevent it from scaling down well. An option to turn them off would be superfluous.
