For example, here's a bit from the SC40 website - properly rendered on
Mozilla - but with the tigris.css and inst.css stylesheets stripped off
(otherwise the page displays pretty much ok, but with larger text):

See? If we have CSS on top of CSS on top of CSS, we quickly *lose
control* of our website. It would be quite hard to search for the bit of
code that causes 'News' and 'In the media' to overlap like that. Let
alone guess it.

The result is quirky spaghetti code that is huge in filesize and hard to
read.

This is not the solution for this problem we're discussing, though
(layout completely breaking on some systems). I just mean that it would
be a lot of easier to hunt down those nasty bugs if the CSS mechanism
would be more simple.
