*I* certainly don't sneer at it - it's an impressive, sometimes
dazzling, demonstration of what CSS is capable of. I say that as
someone whose abilities in the graphics-design department are
negligible, but I can appreciate visual design when I see it.

*But* nevertheless, I say the csszengarden is in no way to be used as
a tutorial or template for how to design pages that are meant for the
rough and tumble of the real WWW. Visual design doesn't have to be
this rigid and fragile. Think more in terms of a fine garment, that
adapts itself to the wearer, than a piece of beautiful pottery which
breaks into pieces when stuffed into the wrong-sized niche.
