Presentational integrity

Steve Yelvington explains why the move to Cascading Style Sheets is a business decision, not a technical/standards decision. …if all things were equal, all sites should be CSS2-compliant. But all things aren’t equal. He also describes the business needs of most news sites as ‘presentational integrity’ which he defines as knowing where content AND ads will show up. He’s spot on. He expects that Morris Digital Works, his employer, will eventually decide to leave the legacy browsers behind. We’re going to do the same over the next year or so at my employer… but it’s not a real goal, just a by-product of other projects. I stole a ‘theme’ for this site that employs CSS, but I’m not making any bones about understanding CSS at the level that I understand ‘normal’ markup (read, HTML 4.0).
