RE:  XSLT vs. CSS (Re: Indexing)
Wouldn't that boil down to 'use PDF' for content that cannot 
be changed by the receiver?  That is the reason for 
'final fixed format' documents.  

This opens up a larger issue.  The problem with 
ads is that they may or may not be part of the document 
content.  The author should choose to enable or 
disable additional functionality imposed over access 
to the document content, but not to the document site. 
That is, Gator style ads are legal even if not under 
the control of the author.  What are the user's rights?
 
Does the browsing user have the right to software that 
stops the browser from doing something they do not 
want it to do?  This is not exactly like spam and 
telemarketing.  If one surfs to a site supported 
by ads but disables the ads, that is restraint of 
commerce.  Should a TiVO or VCR be enabled to chop 
ads out of TV shows 'on receipt'?

In conclusion, I would say that the biggest impact cascading style sheets
would have is economical. Also, restricting access to information by
increasing the cost of access may also lead to other probably disastrous
societal effects by restricting the access to knowledge.
