I've been trying to understand your position. This is why I keep pressing you for details. I don't dismiss your concerns; I'm just trying to understand them.

I personally have found the use of CSS quite straightforward and convenient. So it's not as if I am basing my attitude on nothing. It's hard for me to think that's it's the mess you suggest when I don't have any concrete reason to think there's a problem. Except in IE, inheritance pretty much always works as I would expect. Putting a style attribute inside an individual occurrence of a tag rather than using a class or defining a style applicable to all given tags of a given sort seems like sloppy usage to me, but I figured that was a concession for the ease of WYSIWYG editing.

What did you think of the kind of GUI for CSS creation I described earlier? Is that not possible? Is it not sufficient for most users?
