Wired Magazine recently went with an all-CSS/XHTML layout
(http://www.wired.com/news/explanation.html).

I tried it on Netscape 4.8 as well as 3-something.  It worked on
4 -- not all the styling was there, but so what.  3 had some sort
of javascript problem.  It also worked worked perfectly in IE6.

Which doesn't really contradict what you are saying (except the
part about "too broken for everyday use").  Wired's audience is
somewhat more gee-whiz enabled.  Many sites probably wouldn't be
comfortable losing any styling.  But, even then, less is more for
most people.  See Google and the recent Altavista redesign.
