Only if the new battlefield (style sheets) is friendlier to new weapons. Will there be as much complaint about using a (non-standard, implemented-in-one-browser-only) BLINK construct in style sheets as there was complaint about using the BLINK tag in HTML? It seems like style sheets provide, by nature, more graceful fallbacks - if a style sheet calls for an unknown font, for example, the browser is free to use something else. So, I'm hopeful, at least.
