Hi!

Personally I strictly use no hacks, since most of them are meant to make 
it possible to use the exact same HTML code in many situations and let 
the browser handle the negociation/browser detection logic (NS4, IE, 
text-based browser, hidden boxes, PDA, etc...). The idea is that if you 
have several layout / page renderers then you can deal with these issues 
in Zope and not in the browser - which is a cleaner approach.
