       | complexity of CSS of this days - I guess they want us to go back
       | to use HTML tables?) but the whole message with all of this stuff
       | many of us have been doing instinctively is that CSS is not only
       | the meant way to do layouts and all web design and styling, but
       | used appropriately, can save people lots of headaches in the
       | future.

       | definitely can cause issues like mentioned
