That depends on how you define page layout. I don't consider non-static
presentation to be outside layout, anymore than changing link colors to
indicated visited pages.

I agree the content belongs in the document and I agree that using style
sheets for content is just as bad as using scripts for content.
In the second example given, though, the content was being extracted
from the document and just presented. In the first example, it is
implicit in the tag semantics.
