Sorry Hitch, but such a loose generalization is just plain wrong.

No it's not wrong. KF7 doesn't grok css
at all. It's essentially HTML3.2 with a handful of attributes. Margins are left-only (achieved with blockquote no less), there is no such thing as right-margin. Text-indent ... nope. Font-style?? Uh-uh. You get <i> <b> and <tt> tags.
Kindlegen may be able to take some css and convert it into html3.2 that the KF7 rendering system can use, but the rest is just dropped. Hitch is right: no css in an old-style mobi7 kindlebook. Unpack one yourself and see. You basically have height/width attributes for paragraphs and blockquotes for a bit of left margin (nest blockquotes to increase the margin). And that's about the extent of the toolbox you get to work with when formatting a KF7 Kindlebook.
