Depends on how you count it. It only has to be done once by the
author, and from then on it can give multiple pleasure. On
principle, this may well be worth it.

This is yet another issue. But, given that there are limitations
in browser implementations of some css where this sort of thing
can be more easily done in a kosher manner, it is very severe to
never fall to temptation. Perhaps it is an area where a little
individual choice might be allowable.
