If you have to apply hacks, it will be in the stylesheet.
That means you don't have to litter your pages.

That's not quite true. Try making a CSS-only drop-down menu
(without using Javascript) that works the same under IE and other
browsers. All the examples I have seen required conditional markup
hacks in the document, as well as separate stylesheets for IE.

An excellent example of a cross-browser non-javascript CSS-only
drop-down menu is here:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/final_drop.html

It's quite nicely done, but it does require hacks in both CSS and
HTML.

And why would I even want to? Those things are a PITA to use - I
wouldn't want any of my users to suffer with them.

BTW, contrary to popular belief, making them with CSS instead of JS does
*not* automatically make them more accessible.
