 you
hear me? CSS will never fix it!. The article shows how a [4]100-line CSS
style sheet gives you the same formatted version of [5]W3C's Webarch as
the [6]1000-line XSL style sheet by using [7]Prince."

Okay, one is envolved with Prince, but why is the other one promoting that
instead of making his company's product print better? Not owning a printer
myself, I don't care much anyway.

What the XXXX? This is Usenet! This is where discussion was invented,
popularized and, after considerable experience, declared futile.
