How will you handle unique formatting, when desired? How should we expect ad partners to cooperate, not to speak of getting them aboard? How's scoped style sheets handling?

As for unique formatting, that's something we already do via #id, and given the greater weight given to the rule it (sic) outweights whatever is set, giving the desired 'unique formatting'. IMHO, HTML5 should be the final step in educating authors and authoring tools alike to separate content from presentation, several tags and attibutes are being dropped in this spec, and dropping the style attribute is the last signal to say "presentation doesn't belong here". side note: may be we could add to UA render guidelines a directive on not to add borders to images? I know no actual designer that doesn't set " img { border: 0 } " on top of every CSS file he/she builds, and it's part of every "reset template" out there even when the term "reset template" wasn't even coined.
