It is basically pointless if you know CSS and browser
limitations. You need to view the site in the browsers you target
anyway and add some tweaks.
A programming documentation site's primary use scenario is
desktop/laptop. Making it work really well there should be
priority #1.
While markup and styling are supposed to be orthogonal, in
practice they rarely are. With some styling it works (like
paragraphs, headers), other parts just require a coupling
between html and css.
You cannot just take some old HTML, apply some css styles and
have a modern site. A lot of times you have to change the
order, the nesting of elements or apply wrapper elements to
achieve a certain look.
Which is why I wrote "HTML5 layout". XSLT can transform and
change order.
