Google News without the bloated design

One for, one against. I’ll split the difference and say “why not both?” We really need more sites that allow flexibility in how users can experience the data. It’s more work for the designers and programmers, but would be great for consumers. With style sheets, there’s no reason a site HAS to look one way, it could look different ways depending on which style sheet is chosen (but perhaps my knowledge of HTML and CSS is too limited to understand why a website viewer can’t switch style sheets on the fly… I can do it with my personal webmail setup, though, so I suspect it’s just because organizations don’t want the hassle of maintaining multiple style sheets).
