*cough*
CSS is *not* the "logical structure markup" of a html document. The main
feature of HTML4/XHTML and CSS(|2|3) is the separation of structure and
design (as you said): HTML should be used to structure content in a
usable way (ie one can extract the given information from the document
in every environment, with or without a CSS-capable display software)
while CSS is used to create a wonderful world for salesdroids.
