I'm curious to know how you come to that conclusion.  The W3C
doesn't enforce the standards.  The adoption of them seems to have
been voluntary, and a vast improvement over older "standards".

"Never" is easier to type. ;-)

This remark took me by surprise. Well... kind of.  I was under the
impression that you thought the structure vs. style distinction was
a good one.  As far as I know, style sheets are not required, so
why should the module be required for the browser?  Lynx works fine
without 'em.

In lieu of CSS, what would you recommend?  Another style-sheet
language?  or an entirely different approach?
