It's a 508 requirement (see note 1) as well.  Although I agree with your 
issue; Why have 508 and WCAG accessibility standards contradict or 
restrict the CSS spec?  They are the current published standards and until 
508 guidance is revised and/or WCAG 2.0 comes out and clarifies a few 
things - it's what we have today.  Perhaps a better approach would be to 
change the CSS spec so that generated semantic content would not be 
allowed and user style sheets would rule better- and keep the CSS spec 
simpler to only deal with styling.
