The problem is when someone refers to "this must be in compliance with checkpoint 4" or the like, and the only way that the number 4 is produced is via CSS styling of the <li>. So we need to caution about this type of possibility. >Also, could I just say here that it is high time we stopped >pretending there are very many devices out there that cannot >understand stylesheets?

I think this relates to the discussion about minimum user requirements. We need to be careful about saying "understand CSS" -- CSS support is widespread but irregular, meaning that things like fonts and colors are nearly universally supported, but generated content or aural CSS is not. It's reasonable to assume CSS support for simple font effects; not reasoanble to assume generated content, properly positioned blocks, etc. Perhaps it's safest to assume a CSS1 and not CSS2 compliant browser. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
