Or rather, isn't a substitute at all, wouldn't you say? If you believe 
in separating content from formatting, then you have to use CSS anyway.

And as for browsers supporting XSLT, it's perfectly true that the very 
latest versions do support it, but I wonder how many end users have the 
very latest versions? I'd wager most people are still using IE5, and 
very few are using Mozilla. And it's arguable that Microsoft took much 
longer than they should have to ship an XSLT-compliant browser--MSXML, 
after all, was close to 100% compliance as early as April or May 2000. 
Netscape, of course, has just generally had their heads up their ...

So I don't see a problem with saying 'inertia' with respect to CSS.
