I don't think that "it was never designed to" and what you should do with a technology necessarily go together. A lot of innovation comes from doing things with technology that it was not originally designed to do. You should be aware that you are beyond the intended purpose, but you should not let that stop you.

It was just an explanation of why the CSS syntax in the examples is ugly. By all means hack away.
