Not sure I fully agree. Properly used CSS acheives both goals: Gives the
author good control of layout and makes the information more structured
and portable. But as it is a generic and very poverful system it can
also be abused, like any other computer language.
Main problem for HTML today I would say is the number of crappy HTML
editors which does not care about structure, combined with the poor
support of CSS in many of the currently used browsers.
