I disagree about it being too late to change things now; developers make the 
best of dubious and poor designs and implementations all the time, but that 
is no reason to stop improving both.  We are talking about aesthetics here, 
not air traffic control; the good that could come from making improvements 
to CSS for the countless pages that will use it in the future easily 
outweighs the risks of new browsers displaying margins a little differently 
for the considerably smaller number of extant pages that would be affected. 
It is too late to change the past, but it is never too late to improve the 
future.


Kind regards,
