Still, CSS is not enough because is not able to change the layout of things and, even worse, sometimes the style dictates the markup (example: if you want to use stuff like rounded boxes).

For rounded corners at tabs you can use :before and :after pseudo selectors http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#before-and-after, unfortionally it only works in modern browsers and not in the popular broken one that our custommers tend to have :/
Then if you feel that your CSS style sheets are by far to easy to understand, there are a couple of interesting CSS tricks for getting rounded corners even in IE:

They are so subtle that the XSLT solution probably is better idea. </OT>
I do that. The problem is that you have *4* corners, not 2 ;-) that's why it forces you to use two elements, so that you can have the top corner be the :before of the first and the bottom corner to be the :before of the second.
That's my favorite example of why CSS is not powerful enough for what people need.
