"Whoops!"

Fair enough.

Gatac: I'm not sure what you think is elephantine about CSS, but it wasn't introduced just because someone didn't like HTML formatting. There is no way in HTML to create a uniform theme without dotting font tags and bgcolor attributes all through the code. With CSS, you can apply a style to every element of a certain type, and override that as necessary.

To me, that just makes a lot more sense.

Also, I don't know what compatibility mess you're talking about. For the basic features of CSS (this covers far more than you can do in HTML, if you exclude tables), browser support is very good, and very predictable.
