Presentational quasi-HTML always *was* broken, from the start,
considering that the concept of a stylesheet was already
well-established, and moves to develop stylesheet notation for the web
were already under way by the time that the ex-NCSA-Mosaic folk
splattered their presentational junk markup onto the market.
I still have far too much legacy crud from that era (yes, I knew all
along that it was sub-optimal, but with the browsers available back
then, we were left with little choice in the matter). But I sure
wouldn't promote it nowadays.
