And, actually, CSS creates content-independant presentation that HTML largely lacks. When you use <b> tags, for example, you're saying, "present this content in bold format." But what if I'm visually impaired and using an audible browser? CSS allows the page designer to say "on the screen, make this bold, on a printer, make it italics, and when spoken, surround the text with these words." That, Ytrew, is content-independant presentation.
Right......... Now, name us a couple of large websites that actually use CSS to do stuff like this. Does Perlmonks use CSS to cater for audio browsers?

Oh, and about blind people - I know quite a lot of them, including an ex-girlfriend. They all use IE to browse webpages, and use their screen reader to hear what's on the screen. Simple webpages is what they prefer, any meaning added to pages using CSS is lost on them. And forms and image maps can drive them to madness.
