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.
