But I must defend css. I like css. The problem is in the design decisions being made, the way people are using the tools available, it's not the fault of the css.
Thanks for the answer.

I use CSS myself when formatting books but not for web pages. I do not like the W3C committee deprecating all my nice formatting solutions in preference to having to do everything with a style statements or CSS files since it encourages taking over the display of what I see.
I don't have anything against CSS itself except it is very difficult to troubleshoot a formatting problem if you have multiple CSS files or tags that might be applied in a particular situation. I really wish I could tap on an error and have it tell me which CSS statement caused it to look like it does. I encounter these kinds of problems when I try and reformat other peoples eBooks for my own use.
