I think these are absurd statements! CSS is far too limited to use for presenting XML documents. It has zero transformation capabilities! Without the "content" feature of CSS2 it cannot add new content to the output. It can't sort. It can't reorder content. I've got to wonder if Tim Bray really said that last line, "XML + CSS is the way to go".
