I think that was what I was referring to in the qualification to the
comment, but I was going further and saying that because most designers:

- don't understand CSS, DOM or HTML and simply use a cook book approach;
- the current hack with moving layers produces the desired *visual*
  effect,

it is not going to practical to get most designers to move away from
the hack, long after NS4 is less used than Amaya (or the other minority
browsers that designers ignore).
