I don't mean the it's "the same page". I don't think this is wrong. Why shouldn't the same page look the same as far as possible? Isn't that the original point of HTML and much of what CSS is about? I'm sorry, I just find it ludicrous that there should exists syntax to say things such as position:absolute and top:50px; but then turn around and say that these shouldn't be used because they misunderstand the web. The web is a visual medium and people use it as such. By suggesting that browsers try to be alike (which is all I'm doing, I'm not forcing and I'm not unrealistic about the probable lack of adoption) all I'm doing is trying to make authors lives easier at nobody else's expense.
