Let's take a real-world example. I use CSS for syntax coloring on
<http://www.natural-innovations.com/as/snippets.html> (yes, that's
a Mac-oriented page for an obvious reason). I'd like to know how
the syntax coloring could ever be done without inline styles.
Well, unless I were to make new tags for each syntax part, but then
it wouldn't be HTML anymore.
