For the most part our GUI guy points out our mistakes or when we stray from the 
path...  However, we count on him to make sure the layout is correct and then 
we just muck with the tapestry bits...

csszengarden was created to encourage designers to use css by illustrating
that they dont need to use tables to create beautiful looking sites. its not
particularly aimed at accessibility... as a quick fix you could bring your
face closer to the monitor lol.

seperation between style and content is not _that_ hard to achieve, but it
takes discipline on the part of the developers to only output valid and
clean markup. i think tapestry templates really help with this goal. the
fact that tapestry doesnt like xhtml at the moment is a bit of a shame
accessibility wise though :( maybe hewy-lewis-smith could fix that
