> I think CSS is a BLESSING to us as developers!

                                    YES!!!!!

I use it extensively for font control, but it took six months work in my off
time to figure it out.  There was just so much CSS that was not supported in
one or the other browser it drove me nuts.

Once I figured it out, I had to find out which fonts were supported by what
platforms.  That way I could specify several backup fonts in case someone
didn't have what I listed as first choice.  Now I can change the complete
look of a website by changing a couple .CSS files.

Think what we could be doing now if Microsoft and Netscape had supported the
whole specification.  Layers are one of the most powerful things I have
seen, yet it didn't get adopted by MS.  Bummer.   With layers, who would
have needed XML?
