It would be interesting and maybe informative to see Pride and Prejudice and/or Alice in Wonderland rendered with different approaches along with details of how it was accomplished and time it took.

Lie & Bos's book on CSS was typeset using CSS all the way back in 2005.[2]  One can only hope that eventually those extensions will make their way to CSS proper. Bert Bos has a put together a list of features needed to make CSS fit enough for print typesetting.[3]
