Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but it seems to me CSS would be much in
demand for large organizations' intranets, where there is an overall
corporate look and feel along with 'personality' touches for various
departments. A well-designed set of cascading stylesheets would greatly
simplify the management of such a site while allowing users with
special visual needs to apply selective overrides.
