My knee-jerk answer is yes, because CSS actually includes a mechanism whereby HTML 3.2 presentational elements which were deprecated in HTML 4.0 are included in the CSS cascade. The point against is that inline elements are not part of style sheets, which is what the checkpoint actually requires. What do other folks think?

Question: Does the HTML Writers Guild's homepage, at http://www.hwg.org/index.html , satisfy checkpoint 3.3? It uses both HTML _and_ CSS for layout and presentation. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/ --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
