Yep this is true. NS has some weird ideas sometimes with stylesheets.
Nevertheless, that's the way the world is going sooner or later.
Personally I don't mind what get ssent to me when I browse something, but
I would not like to maintain (anymore) a big site with a lot of
<font>/<table> stuff. Tables are necessary, but they need not be used so
much as earlier.

Well, I don't have the knowledge to help out with the site anyway, so this
is a kind of academic discussion... :-)
