Ok, I thought that style sheets were supposed to do all that, too.  But in
my attempt to use style sheet, I have found that they are basically
unsupported.  In general those who do support them, don't support most of
the most important things they can do, making them pretty much useless.  On
top of that, most browsers just simply do not recognize them.  That means
they are, at this point, totally useless.  I feel that UA developers need
to have more pressure placed on them to incorporate this powerful
technology as quickly as possible.

I guess that it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to reincorporate things
into html which have been removed because of style sheets.  They can always
be removed in later versions once style sheets are better supported.
