The fundamental philosophy of HTML is that it that it defines the structure, so two presentations of a page which present the same structure are the same page, even if one has a gap between paragraphs, whereas the other has no gap, but indents the first line, etc. If repeatable presentation is more important than strucuture, then you want a page description language, like PostScript or its descendants, PDF and SVG (although currently PDF has better support for providing for providing structure information, amongst these).
