The real reason pure-CSS layout is sweeping Geek Nation lately is simple: it makes web page layout difficult again! It’s like taking a one-way trip in the Wayback Machine, right back to when no two browsers worked alike, it took half an hour of research to accomplish anything, and ugly, asinine hacks were so ubiquitous as to be a de facto part of the language. So we’ll have job security again, if we can just convince our bosses that web standards and separation of code from layout will actually confer them any advantage.
Well, that and static page backgrounds. You thought it was hot when HotWired figured out how to indent things? Man. You ain’t seen hot.
