This is an important USP of Lenya. It is very important for cross-media 
publishing. And as soon as you face a migration (e.g., change the 
corporate design) you will bless the system for this separation since 
all the content can be migrated automatically without any human interaction.

Well, OTOH we endanger the jobs of all the poor Chinese women who 
migrate hundreds of thousands of documents manually …

Hi Gintare,

Because separation of presentation (like CSS) and content (like Strict
XHTML) help us to keep a clear code [1]. Transactional XHTML allows use
of presentation mark-up which is against the main principle in
separation of presentation and content.

Thomas.
