CSS feels web-centric to me because it embodies an importance virtue in resource representations, the separation (so far as reasonable) between content and presentation; important in networked information systems because you can intrinsically never know who is processing your representation, and for what. The DOM, while it has an important role in the world, gives me the impression that it could exist happily entirely outside the Web frame of reference. But we're getting into anecdotal evidence here. -Tim Cheers, Tim Bray http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/
