Kind of, using CSS Level 2 facilities which appear to be near universally unimplemented and which degrade gracefully. It's a huge oversight in the HTML standard, particularly since there was no earthly reason to deprecate it in the first place since it's not presentational. It's meta-information about the document and is just as reasonable to include in a strictly conforming HTML document as captions or id tags. In practice, of course, the fact that it's deprecated is meaningless other than saying that, if used, you have to mark the document as Transitional instead of Strict. Everyone implements it.
