DOCBOOK-APPS: Is it time to rely on CSS?

There are more and more bug reports coming in of the form

  "Why are you doing X? You should be using CSS."

For example, <b> elements in figure titles, background color on
tables, etc. Even the inline style markup in admonitions falls into
this category as, if we relied on CSS, we'd expect an external
stylesheet to apply that style.

Historically, the stylesheets have tried to walk some sort of a line
between relying on CSS and getting reasonable results in browsers that
don't support CSS.

Is it time to move that line farther out, removing things that could
be done with CSS and just expecting CSS to be used?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
