IMHO, if someone is coding to the stylesheet rather
than to the semantics, that is a sign that either the
available semantics aren't rich enough (as is arguably
the case with HTML) or that the someone in question
doesn't really understand what they are supposed to be
doing.
That said, that is probably a more of a "religious" or
"philosophical" question than is really fit for this
list.
