Unless I am really, really wrong, stylesheets should offer a lot more power 
than <FONT>, etc. do now.  Unfortunately, stylesheets weren't ready soon 
enough, so we have to live with <FONT> et. al.  Scott is right.

Because of stylesheets power (and because they are coming soon in the major 
commercial browsers), I don't see a proliferation of presentational tags, as 
stylesheets solve the same problem and better (where better is both "more 
structured" and "more powerful").
