> There is no longer the designer/programmer separation, now with CSS designers can do everything if your HTML layout makes a bit of sense.

I'm sorry, but this is simply not true. You can't just magically move elements around in CSS without changing the markup. And even if you can accomplish a lot, many things will become very awkward as you try to tweak CSS in ways that was never intended.

I think we must just accept that we have a markup language (HTML; <p>, <strong> and so on), a way to style that (CSS) and a layout engine (CSS+HTML; <div>, <span> and so on).
