Hi, Rob -- > If you can't see what I'm getting at, then I have nothing else to say on the > matter. I /can/ see what you are getting at, and I believe you can see what /I'm/ getting at; but what I don't understand is why there should be discord. /Of course/ aesthetics matter (in the aural world as much is in the visual, which is why American-voiced answer'phones are such an abomination in the English-but-not-American-speaking world), but they aren't /everything/. CSS is evolving to give you every possible control over the aesthetics, whilst [X][HT]ML is evolving to give you every possible control over the semantics. Mikko was advocating that /all/ web authors, amateur or professional, should concentrate on getting the semantics right first, then using CSS to control the appearance/aesthetics. I can't see what problem you could have with that. ** Phil.
