Very strong sentence. I have another point of view after talking to
some real-life clients.
I'm not saying that you could achive the ideal quality not taking into
account some significant differences between different media.
I'm saying that
1. Maybe not every document in this world requires the brilliant quality
of the presentation.
2. It may be better to share some information between the stylesheets
insted of rewriting the whole stylesheet from stratch for every media.

I would appreciate greatly any information. Reinventing the wheel is
