HTML is inherently bad for print because of the pixel-inches transition... I'm not sure how quark gets around that, but it's a serious issue.

What CSS/HTML does Quark support?

Don't know about Quark but InDesign allows you to create an RGB / pixel based documents (like Illustrator). Suppose Quark works the same way. It's all HTML5. Here is a tutorial I just found http://www.jamie-cross.net/?cat=26

From a developer's perceptive it might suck, but from a designer's perceptive it's 'good enough' and better than static PDF files like InDesign creates.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about the ability to create pixel based documents, and/or inches based. I was referring to transitioning between them. (i.e. normalizing your ppi of all your artwork and converting a pixel based document into an 'real' width).
