I dunno.  I've found CSS syntax pretty agreeable stuff, not just
"quasi-structured".  It may be a different markup from pointy brackets,
but it's hardly hieroglyphics.

I vastly prefer its decorative approach to the transformative madness
XSLT imposes for a wide variety of otherwise simple tasks...
