I cannot comment on the specific results of your labors against a stupendously over-wrought use of CSS. I suspect the styles you had to wade through were not made with human intervention. The issue may not be one of "relative functionality" but how CSS is being mis-used. We are seeing a lot of bad CSS nowadays. I guess this is one fruit of the efforts of the CSS advocates who enrich this mailing list. CSS is now considered the proper way to go for enterprise-level applications. Part of the blame can be put upon this influential collection of experts. <g> For instance: my company recently got rid of a simple Excel spreadsheet to handle employee travel and expense reimbursements. We now have a browser-based application "designed" by the infamously inefficient SAP. The CSS for this two-screen app is about 300,000 bytes. It clearly was generated by software -- no human being could be that meticulously dense. One wonders how the browser is even able to parse the monster. So, individual solutions like user CSS may not be practical in dealing with travesties of the sort you point out. Most of us do not have your abilities or desire for Sisyphean challenge. We have to keep educating...
