So, are you saying that you don't like the whole XHTML CSS thing? Or just that it's not as complicated as everyone is trying to make it? I'm a bit confused by your article as the tone of it seems to be that you don't care for the whole valid XHTML CSS concept.
Is it that you don't like how people go "My site is valid XHTML and CSS so it's better than yours!" even if their coding is crap (valid or not) and the layout is bland?
If that's the case, then I have no problem with that. I don't see why you can't have valid markup AND have a nice looking, functional, site. It's really not all that complicated.
And yeah, it's kinda funny that the biggest part of XHTML is the "/".
