That was back when XML was supposed to take over the world. We were going to style the same semantic content for print and web with CSS and/or XSLT. XHTML was the next big thing. Every web page was actually just a page.

We're not living in that future.

But the CSS ecosystem is still useful, and still adapting to our needs today. Tailwind might be considered one of those adaptations.
