They're broadly the same thing. Simply looking similar in two
situations isn't a test of good code (the markup might be ugly, but
coincidentally the same) yet when you go to a different platform, or
even just change the font size, then it falls to pieces.
The objective starting point is validation, not appearance. You can
make a valid site look good by gradual refactoring and improvement, you
can't make a good-looking invalid site into a valid one without also
first going backwards and disturbing the appearance.
