Updating the format for articles

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2014Nov/0003.html

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-navigation-select-temp.en

richard: do not want to get into design by committee mode :-)
... didn't arise from reading the article you mentioned but from someone else's blog
... using a very open font
... Roboto or Helvetica Neue
... easier to read, less dense
... does make you scroll more
... must read rather than "scan"
... but easier on eye
... so think we go ahead?

<David> I like the sample, it even looked good and readable on my Android phone's default browser.
