You're kidding yourself. I routinely see older browsers in use going back as far as Netscape 1.1.I disagree. Even Netscape 4, the worst standards-supporting browser in use at all today (and obsolete too) supports much of CSS1.
I'm not willing to throw away 5% of readers to satisfy some ideological notion of HTML purity. I will only move forward to new technologies when they are truly ubiquitous or provide features I need that are simply not available using the old techniques. CSS doesn't meet that criteria. It doesn't help me do anything I need to do with my DocBook books I can't do with plain HTML.Even if Netscape 4 didn't support CSS1, why should we sacrifice the convenience of style formatting for 95% of the authors/users because of the bugginess of the 5% ? Anyhow, even if the 5% can't see the style, surely the document would still be legible to them.
