I think Christian has hit the nail on the head. Web sites are all about content, and there is no way that a computer design program will ever be able to read and understand our content, mark it up semantically, group it properly into divs with logical ids, and position it in a flexible way. That's our job. Paul, I would suggest you that you suggest a change in your organization's workflow, if you haven't already. If your team is the one with the CSS knowledge, you should be the ones structuring the pages, not just programming them. I had a similar situation where I work -- my programmer doesn't know about semantic markup and was handing these forms off for me to style with no labels or fieldsets, bold tags thrown around, etc. I just asked him if I could structure and style the pages first, then give them to him to "make work," and he had no problem with this -- which was not surprising since it meant less work for him. :-) You could also try to educate them, but that's probably a very long road.
