In the last months I keep stumbling on very nice applications of CSS. An older, but very impressive is the CSS Zen Garden, which demonstrates the seperation of the HTML and flexibillity in design. Today I found Michael Pick's beautiful blog with a demonstration of Pull Quotes.
Done cleanly (which is possible under some constraints driven by browser bugs..), your HTML would usually consist of mainly a few <div>-Tags with class attributes.
A nice side-effect of HTML that is marked up this way, is that it is possible to write much cleaner and stable regression tests for your web applications. These usually involve some form of scraping, and scraping becomes much easier in this way.
