You know, as nerdy as it is, it's this sort of Aristotelian dichotomy between content and presentation that I really nerd out on. I'm reminded of an old SimpleBits staple where Dan Cederholm challenged us to find the most correct way to mark up breadcrumbs. But I digress... I'm always glad to hear about more creative solutions to solving this dilemma. In my experience, since switching to Sass, I can't really think of a case where I had to sacrifice semantics for style, but perhaps that's an effect of being a designer who's wary of such things (letting the man who shovels sh*t decide how many elephants there should be in a parade, et wot). Anyway, I don't think I share any normative urgency, (especially with something like W3C specifications). At the end of the day, I'm overjoyed that Sass saves me from 99% of semantics issues. For that other 1%, there's always the style attribute, no? ;)
