What I had in mind is avoidance of redundancy in presentation
information, in much the same way htm:div elements with 'class' or
'style' attributes are used instead of htm:font and htm:center.

Thanks. Well, reading a friendly reply like yours, made me try and find
arguments against myself. What came out of this is simply that XSL-FO
presentation info can be transformed via XSLT, something that would be
almost impossible by using CSS notation for that information...
