FWIW: I wasn't trying to be helpful in this particular case, but I don't
like _unnecessary_ restrictions on what can be done and put on display -
even on css-d.
Christian may have good reasons - which I won't dispute, and is using
the lists guidelines to back them up. However, that isn't enough to
exclude such explorations of regular HTML/CSS in an attempt "to explain
[to UAs] what content is and how it should be rendered".
We need to know if they (the UAs) understand simple and plain HTML/CSS,
and we should - in my opinion - be allowed to present the results of our
investigations, even if they are crude. That's especially true when they
actually work.
(X)HTML and CSS, and all additions and alternatives, are developed
further as I write this. Most of what we did yesterday is "useless"
today, and most of what we do today may be seen as "useless" tomorrow.
However, some (if not all) of the less than optimal stuff we come up
with today, may end up being reworked and refined and become part of
tomorrow's standards - and those standards may even be supported by UAs
one day. We talk about 'progress' when it works better than what we had
before, and 'regress' when it doesn't. There's plenty of both around.
Regardless of that: we use what we have, and can master, in real world
web design today, and we should allow ourselves to do so, and to
explore, while we are developing our skills further and can, each on our
own, separate the good from the bad and the obsolete.
"Css-discuss covers all stages, from beginner to advanced."
Let it be so.

Georg
