Oh yes, most definitely... :( Every day millions insist on using the wrong
tool for all sorts of things. Especially for Web publishing. Apple's
webdesigners are no exception.
HTML was designed to structure content, CSS to suggest presentation of that
content. It works extremely well:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
<HTML lang="AppleScript">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The right tool for the right job</TITLE>
<STYLE>
.indent {margin-left: 2em}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
tell application "Mozilla"<BR>
<DIV CLASS="indent">
tell document 1<BR>
<DIV CLASS="indent">
Get URL "
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/";<BR>
</DIV>
end tell<BR>
</DIV>
end tell<BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
