Yes, I can remember that argument. Apparently, it doesn't seem to stop 
others from trying, my most recent finding being weasyprint.org. 

BTW, it's interesting to see how CSS usage among webdesigners is mor-
phing slowly (via tools like Sass for Sassy CSS, or short SCSS, see 
sass-lang.com) into something more programming language-like, with 
variables, functions, mixins, nesting, etc. These guys seem to move 
into the right direction.
