Re: Why is CSS such a mess?

I know what you're saying, but I just disagree. The publisher gets the say about the huge majority of the presentation, but the author gets to do a few things besides pick adjectives and adverbs.

The author can't pick the font; at least, not without some negotiation or precondition or advance understanding.

The author can bold or underline a word, and the publisher can't dink with that; at least, not without some negotiation or precondition or advance understanding.

That's just my personal position, of course.
