The reason is that Netscape 4.x has such buggy CSS "support", so these
templates simply feed it the page's content in an unstyled manner.

This is a good way of working IMO. Browsers that support CSS fully/properly
get to see a nice design, while those with no CSS support (or broken CSS
support, eg NS4.x) still get all of the content. This makes your site
accessible to all, reguardless of their browser (be it IE6 on a Pentium 4,
AWeb on an Amiga 500+, or Opera on a Palmtop).

Olly.
