Opera now has
near-perfect CSS1
at least so I hear

Personal style sheets
using W3C's Core Styles
munge invalid markup


This one's a bit dated, but my first experiments with CSS involved MSIE3
(since replaced by MSIE4 as the corporate standard browser).

CSS? SS!
IE3 has no cascade
unclear on concept

Star Trek programming,
Seven taught the crew, "Cascade."
W3C mainstream.

Once upon a time,
document integrity.
Now output varies.

the darkness is void
like your awful web pages
css won't help

tag salad nightmare
invalid html
display colon none

hakon lie hath spoke
cascading style sheets are good
tag soup enema

was this not goofy
