Personally - my opionion is remove all style things from the html and put them
in a css sheet (this includes the font, colors, style images and so forth).
Have a look at the stuff produced by the tigris skin. It is no where near
perfect but there is a reasonably good separation between style (css) and
structure (html divs and spans).
If you wanted to really go the hack you could develope a tableless html
structure and apply the structure via css.

If you need to work around netscape 4 problems then I can help you. I have
done it before (a couple of years ago but should be able to remember). If I
can't help you you can always look to style.tigris.org which is a great
resource that deals with netscape 4 problems.
