Once you move away from transitional 4.01 and 4.01 strict and xhtml, css isn't a nice to have, it's essential. I'm guessing that most people on this list are trying to push for: A: standards in general (in the main) B: a move away from html and into xhtml Yes, you can have a perfectly valid page with loads of depreciated elements and the like using an HTML transitional DTD, but once you start getting into XHTML the validity is gone.
