Actually, if you're using CSS, it makes pages easier to read with browsers
like Lynx, w3m, etc. It's only a problem w/ browsers that don't follow
the guidelines or worse are broken (i.e., they don't ignore a style sheet
command they don't understand, they implement it improperly). NS6 is the
best, supporting CSS-2. Opera also is good and may also implement CSS-2
(but at least understands CSS-1). I personally plan to code for NS6
(CSS-2) and make sure it looks OK in Lynx and just not worry about the
others. Perhaps I should put a "recommended browsers list" on my sites?
One nice thing about CSS (which is why Lynx, et. al., work so well) you
can simulate frames without using them. This is very nice for text
browsers, which is why I'm switching to CSS completely. I _hate_ frames
with a passion.
