CSS for the LDP?

Saqib Ali asks: "Over at The Linux Documentation Project there is a lengthy discussion going on about whether to use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to improve the presentation of the documents. I support the use of CSS to improve the image/formatting of the document, and improve readability. I understand that content is more important than the presentation, but it can't hurt to improve both. There are others who think we should not get involved the presentation layer, and mainly concentrate on the content. Since, most Slashdot readers are Linux users, and might have visited the LDP once or twice, I would like to poll them on what they think about implementing and using nice CSS for the documents on the Linux Document Project website. I've written a CSS for this purpose that is available here, and some sample documents available in this weblog. Any thoughts? Any pros and cons on using CSS to improve presentation?"

    Please explain to me why in God's name you are using IE 5 on OS9, and then trying to give a convincing argument for CSS being bad when you are using a browser that has shit CSS support?

    Upgrade to atleast IE 5.5 for MacOS or get a real browser! I hear mozilla.org has a fine product available. FOR FREE EVEN!!! I know NOT paying for simple things like web browsers is hard for a hardcore Mac zealot like yourself to understand, but trust me, using a standards compliant browser which supports the new standard you are evaluating is a Good Thing (tm)
