Rounded corners

Bullet-proof rounded corners using CSS. Brilliant. Pixel-perfect in 10 (count ‘em, 10) visual browsers. Degrades seamlessly in text-only browsers. No other method comes close.

But I count three CSS hacks, two levels of nested divs, one markup hack, and a partridge in a pear tree to get it all working. Apparently we’ve traded a big stinking pile of table tricks for a big stinking pile of CSS tricks. It’s not more semantically pure, it’s not more accessible, it’s not easier to maintain. Why is this progress?

I am large. I contain multitudes.
