Yeah,. but have you ever ACTUALLY tried to use CSS3 (and heck even a lot of CSS2) with XML and Mozilla? Don't hold your breath for it to work reliably. Some things do, but the level of hackery required is 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Its a LOT simpler at this stage of the game to just output XHTML to browsers unless they specifically ask for XML (stylechooser etc.). IMHO.
