This is my initial reaction as well -- but I suspect we'll run into some
limitations in the CSS standard's ability to lay out the page the way
our clients want it laid out (all pretty like). I think our goal should
be to keep the non-semantic markup to a minimum -- and certainly if
anyone has suggestions for how to improve the semantics of a given
template without sacrificing the flexibility we need by all means please
speak up.
