This is what CSS was always meant to be. I spent a lot of time at uni 
fiddling with different fonts and colours and so forth. But the idea 
that you can *move* content from place to place is pretty mind-blowing.

I mean, the plan was always that CSS was supposed to let you control 
presentation completely seperately from content. It's just a bit of a 
shock to my system to discover that the highly limited CSS standards in 
existence how *already* allow you to do this. o_O
