I disagree with you... and I'd like to think I have "sufficient" HTML experience but as you didn't define what that is, I could be wrong.
A couple of years ago, I ran a styleswitcher on my blog giving the visitor about 5 layouts to choose from. Each one visually different from the rest, not one of them needing any changes to the HTML. The content changed on a daily basis (every time I wrote an entry) and yet it still managed to fulfil its purpose.
Sure, it was only a blog and not a commercial website, but it still shows that CSS is capable of changing the layout by itself. Perhaps sufficient CSS experience is the key?
