The biggest problem with pages like that isn't the size: it is the
maintenance. A large CSS site can be redesigned by changing one file, but
using old-style formatting you'll end up having to change every page.
(And hope you don't make a mistake, or forget one.)
Still, they are nice if you only need a few pages.
But this isn't a webdesign list. ;)
