What? You detest CSS? But you think (X)HTML is the right base format for ebooks? That's a very odd position to hold.

I like CSS. I think it's one of the things XHTML does right. I guess I'm not sure what the difference is between layout and style, and even if there is one, surely the important thing is the contrast between them on the one hand, and content on the other.

Sure, no Browser is 100% compliant, but IE is in a league by itself, largely because its noncompliance is deliberate.

WYSIWYG editors are fine for writing letters to Grandma. But they really have no purpose for anything created for a wider audience, primarily because they make it impossible to separate form and content, and create modifiable consistency.
