Recall that there are other user agents: * web crawlers * users with PDAs Not to mention users with other browsers. It is generally a bad idea to keep the web crawlers from your site, otherwise it won't be indexed in e.g. google. one of the main design goals of the html/related standards of w3 (html, dom, css) is to allow web designers to seperate content from design, and thus make more meaningful content available to all conforming agents.
