I beg to differ. CSS is part of the solution, but not a complete solution
per-ce. There are many things that cannot be done effectively with CSS.
For instance, having a common header and footer for the page, or putting
an element wrapped in <b> ... </b> tags inside a table. AFAIK, CSS cannot
and is not supposed to do this.

I believe XSL transformations, along with CSS offer a complete solution as
XSL is Turing Universal and very flexible. But I don't think Muli will
like it, if he already hates HTML.

My favourite CSS resource is:

At least that's how I learnt CSS 1.

Like I said in a previous post, there's a difference between an HTML
editor and a content management tool that allows managing an entire site
with ease. But an HTML editor will also be good for people who are
HTML-phobic.
