You do realize that your position is bound to be unconvincing without direct argument?

I don't see how I don't have the requisite background. What you need is an explanation of the nature of CSS and/or its relation to (X)HTML that explains the situation. I know CSS and XHTML, and I have plenty of experience using WYSIWYG editors for other tasks, so I can follow along. That I don't have that much experience with WYSIWYG web editors doesn't mean I can't follow an argument for why the nature of CSS and XHTML makes one impossible, at least for the needs of the kind of casual user you see yourself as championing.

So fill me in please.
