I think you may misunderstand what I meant. I was trying to say two different things. First, I am new to blogging, so even if you are writing a comment saying you hate my guts, I appreciate that you took time out of your busy schedule to comment about something that I wrote. Second, there are many things that are problems now with CSS that the original authors couldn't possibly have known about. However, I strongly disagree with the sentiment that css was good for its time. There are many things that are terrible regardless of what was or wasn't known at the time. As to what I would change...I didn't actually bother to check any facts when I wrote this. I had some idea in my head of what the facts were but I never bothered to get them right. Of course, sometimes lying can be a good thing. Imagine if every time I said that something like X doesn't work, I followed up with a long 2 page article about how you might be able to accomplish it in some browser on some operating system running some plugin.
