Remember not everything needs to be in XML and not > everything needs transformation services. I almost completely agree with you - CSS is a *great* way to style up semantically rich XML documents. The problem with CSS is that it can't really be used to define animations, which means that JavaScript is being used instead. I think it's important to seperate the presentational behavior (show/hide content, fade in/out, etc.) from the structural behavior (insert/remove/update content.) This will be possible when (if) XBL becomes properly supported also in non-Gecko browsers. I envision a world where JavaScript and the DOM or XBL is being used to dynamically update the structure and content of a document, while XBL and SMIL is being used for animations and CSS for styling.
