Yes it does. See, for example, <URL:http://pws.prserv.net/jwkennedy/Amelia%20%282%29.html>.

In this example, it's not the HTML doing the formatting but the CSS. Rather than having a separate .css file, the CSS here is included directly in the .html file, which is legal but which also loses much of the power of CSS.

I'm always delighted to hear Microsoft blamed for things. I hadn't heard this one before and further evidence would be interesting (albeit off-topic). There has been recent progress on XML, CSS, RDF, etc. What progress on HTML is needed or has been blocked?
