[lilley@afs.mcc.ac.uk:] > Hmm, does that mean that all HTML 3.0 browsers have to implement > style sheets? No, only the ones that wish to be successful. Word processors got along fine without stylesheets until one came along that had them; then it was just a very short time before it was a feature required by the market, and programs that couldn't implement that feature went under. There's no difference between page output and screen output in this regard. In either medium, stylesheets are such an incredibly powerful and obviously useful capability that you won't be able to convince anyone to use a product that doesn't support them once any product that does support them becomes generally available. It really is just that simple. Anyone who tries to tell you that it's too hard to do or that people really won't want to use stylesheets is just whistling in the dark.
