The designer of this page should be take out and shot. CSS _can_ be used in a completely transparent way to make pages that are graphically interesting and rich but still look great with Lynx or Mosaic or whatever. It can also be abused just like HTML, and this page is the most abusive I've seen. He does things like use duplicate text blocks with negative margins to get shadow effects. The style sheet itself is in between </head> and <body>, and not comment-protected or linked. There is no heading/paragraph structure in the document at all, despite the fact that it is laid out that way. Any tool powerful enough can be misused. CSS is no exception.
