Hmmm. Maybe "Failure due to using presentation to convey information or
structure without also using structural/semantic markup"?

Or maybe just "Failure due to using presentation alone to convey
information or structure"?

Subject: Created CSS failure technique for 1.3.1


While I was looking for scripting posts that I made to the list, I found
a post for a failure technique for 1.3.1[1]  and submitted it to the
Wiki [2].
Failure due to using CSS to create variations in presentation of text
that conveys information without also using structure. I think a simpler
title might be appropriate, is, "Using mechanisms to visually mark the
structure of a document rather than using the structure of the
language", any better?
