Wow! I didn't realise what a touchy subject this would be. 

I like to think of content and style as separate as possible, and I also
like to think that a piece of content that gets reused throughout some
presentation should not need to be repeated in the content, but that the
presentation layer should handle it.

This is the way headers and footers are handled in the print world isn't it?
I say I want "XYZ" in the footer of every page, and if my doc runs to 11
pages the presentation layer puts it at the foot 11 times. I only specified
the content one time.

IMHO the purpose of CSS is purely presentation, so there should be a way to
have CSS repeatedly present something.

That said - I fully expect to have to wait for CSS3 (or later) before CSS
does it, and then another 8 years before all the browsers take it on board.
