Your approach with CSS in TS works as soon as you have one template per DS. This is ok for simple sites. But for big sites with sevral templates per DS (or several representations of the same page using different templates) this does not always work. This is why header selection is there. You are free to do it your own way, of course ;)

I still do not understand why people need to use hacks in the work in standards mode. The only serious difference is png transparency but that can be handled with filter and does not require separate file.

Can you give me an example: what requires hacks? I wonder if I can make it without hacks :)
