Huh? All you need to use CSS is a document structure that's similar to the structure you want to present. No weird HTML magic there. I may or may not agree with that, I'm not sure what you mean by similar. If I have a CALS table and I want to display it in a browser, CSS isn't what I want. If I have a table markup that follows the HTML table model but with my own element names, CSS will do the job, by decorating my XML elements with CSS table properties.T hat isn't a controversial statement is it?
