I have just learned that one should do the content in basic HTML, and do
all formatting through CSS. Fine.
What you're proposing would, in my case, put my content into CSS? In my
case, there are too many different images to make this viable.
By the way, though "background isn't a valid attribute in Strict", it
seems to work. What negative effects would I risk if I go on using
background (apart from making the purists cringe :) ?
