This is flawed though, as it requires all the content to be in the page, including media-specific content. CSS cannot remove content, CSS is optional, consider: This page <span id="viewed">viewed</span><span id="printed">printed</span> on ... This is a contrived example of how people want web-applications to have media specific content - printed media particularly, although it would also apply to web applications deployed over interactive voice systems, but it shows how relying on optional methods to change content is simply flawed.
