This would be a good thing -- without CSS all things are non-fancy and thus usable ofr simple browsers and audio devices and for fancy things the reader can choose from some CSS stylesheets.
If you don't agree with me, that's also okay :)
I think that every developer agrees that XHTML would be best. But none of them (I'm not one) has started to do the work. It's a matter of budgeting time and priorities; even the fact that I'm not one of the developers is such a matter (since I do have some interest in how the code works).
