Yes, it does matter. The C in CSS stands for Cascading, that is, there is an ability for the presentation ideas of the author and the user to interact to provide the best blend - the author knew the material best, the user knows their requirements best. A system that does not support that potential for input from both sides, and "negotiation" is generally poorer than one which does (assuming in each case that they are well-implemented).

From the user's point of view, does it matter how different presentation forms are created? I think the goal is to get the user a presentation of a web page which meets his/her needs and preferences.
