Isn't CSS about giving a "style" to the "views" in the model-view-controller paradigm? So basically it is a way to change the look of a user interface, without having to change the user interface definition itself.
In theory CSS separates content from presentation. In reality it looks like it isn't really powerful enough. Serendipitously, this rant popped up on reddit recently: http://www.flownet.com/ron/css-rant.html Summary: CSS's failures mean that the rendering of a page depends on the order of elements in the content. We have CleverCSS: a little less ambitious than Conal and Jeff imagined, I think, but still an improvement over raw CSS: http://sandbox.pocoo.org/clevercss-hs/ Alistair
