1. HTML is not code, it is HyperText Markup Language - tags are used to
markup text - plain and simple.
2. MTML is not being phased out
3. CSS is an enhancement - If you go to http://www.csszengarden.com you
can see the exact same markup changed completely with CSS.
Once you remove the presentational markup that has been deprecitated in
favor of CSS, you will see how much quicker and easier it is to get
things done. Imagine this scenario: 100 pages with <body
bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">, and you want to swap it - before CSS
that meant changing all those body elements. Now, a change to one
stylesheet changes ALL the pages at the same time;
<body>
body {background-color:#fff; color:#000}
