not all elements need it but container DIVs tables and remarkable
table cells. What is inside cell can be assigned in many cases
using td.something strong {...}

The necessary quantity the quantity, which allows to define all
elements directly or indirectly.

Setting backgrounds and borders is just one way to make layout.

there are those, but those are not bad for skinning, if there are
enough classes. But direct style attributes without necessary quantity
of classes is just the worst possible issue for skinning.

I made skin, but the result for the TemplaVoila view is really far from
the desired result because of missing classes and direct style 
attributes - that combination just makes impossible to create desired 
skin. It doesn't use much deprecated presentational attributes but 
direct style attributes are even worse for proper skinning. TemplaVoila 
is however exception because it is under construction and the layout for 
it is just a bad hack using style attributes.
