Bold assumption. Does that mean that you are absolutely sure that any person who might be potentially interested in the content provided on your site won't use handheld for browsing? >But as Neerav implies, there is the law of diminishing returns, and >accessibility is about making your site as accessible to as great an >audience - a real, not imagined or hypothetical audience - as possible. Once again, does that mean that handheld devices, celular phones and all other non desktop browsing stuff does not exist in the real world? >Use the currently available tools and wait for CSS and browsers to go >columnar. And then what? Complain about old browsers being used by too many people to be ignored, complexity of the CSSx etc? But I agree - use tools currently available, not those from last century (199x). Sure you can use whatever you wish to, but statement that current CSS is not ready for real world is wrong, IMO. And by the way: xhml1.1 cannot be served as text/html. And IE does not support application/xthml+xml. Why not to stick with HTML4.01 till better times?
