Just about half our marketing team knows how to write HTML and CSS. They learned it because they found out the developers who too backed up to get their landing pages and such done on the schedule they needed. But those people also know marketing... I can't imagine finding enough work for someone with just HTML and CSS to fill a 40 hour week. Especially since most content these days is generated by CMS systems and WYSIWYG editors. And there is only so much work in boilerplate. So to me the problem is not that they are not valuable skills but that they make up such a small portion of what needs to be done. Although I'm sure at some other companies this is not true.
