You could say that about anything, it's a very narrow minded approach. Most software that deals with mixed xhtml has no way to deal with CSS, browsers are not the only consumers of xhtml. Consider a simple script using xpath or regex, DOM?. Most readers that support any advanced CSS are just reusing browser components, if they arn't they are either crippled like Kindle or extremely buggy. Abuse can happen to any tag, should tables be removed because they're used by some people for layouts? should p's be replaced with divs?
Clean markup is far, far nicer to work with than verbose CSS use.
But hey, I guess we can enjoy the future of 'webkit in everything', urgh.
