CSS is definitely where it's heading. However, this doesn't in any way
affect your decision to use or not to use DWTs. As a DWT is just HTML, it
can include CSS styles and classes. Basically, it simply defines shared HTML
layout elements across pages in your web. And you can use multiple DWTs in
the same web.
