I find it hard to take seriously criticism that the Zen Garden page has too many tags! That would be like criticizing an actor for having too many colors of greasepaint in her kit. The Zen Garden page isn't a model for every web page -- it's marked up specifically to achieve its goal of multitudinous reskinnability. No ordinary web page faces that demand. No one claims that CSS is so magical that any HTML markup can be styled to look any old way. There's definitely a relationship between markup and presentation, like skeleton to skin. Perhaps, like Xeno's arrow, we'll never actually achieve complete separation of structure from presentation, but the closer we get the more flexible and manageable our projects become. The CSS Zen Garden is intended to be inspirational, not normative.
