A Message for the CSS and XML Cultists

A message for the neigh-fanatical XML and CSS cultists.
(And you can quote me on this...)

1. Formatting communicates.
2. When you separate 'presentation' from 'content', you lose part of the message.*
3. Presentation is part of content.

*footnote: do a search on CSS and you'll read what is essentially the same message over and over: that CSS (et al.) is "superior to HTML because it separates presentation from content".

Case in point; you should be able to see how the MEANING of the following statements changes because of the way it is formatted:

"Presentation is part of communication."
"Presentation is part of communication."
"Presentation is part of communication."
