Than why we have CSS3 User Interface module?
According to you, it's useless. You can do everything included in CSS3 UI 
module via DHTML.

P.S. I think we should not mix DHTML (DOM) and CSS, I mean from programmer's 
(designer's) point of view.
You can export from word processor nice HTML/XHTML with CSS formatting.
I can imagine that you can do some formatting for resulting UI elements.
(yes, MS Word doesn't do it but who said that MS is *the* reference in this 
case?)
But  I doubt that any word processor in the world will allow you to do DHTML 
programming.
(in this case, MS Word during HTML export will have to convert VBA to 
JavaScript, and I do not think it's an easy task...)
