This is essentially because designers start from the point of view that they (their customer) want(s) a particular appearence and so: - do whatever achieves that appearence without thinking of the document structure - they use HTML as a graphical toolkit, not a document language; - even if they could produce a reasonable document structure, insist that back version browsers produce the same (branded) appearence as current browsers, rather than producing a generic styling.
