This is not totaly true.

You can have alternate stylesheets depending on the media : on colorized for
screen, one black and white for printer. Latest releases of current browers
(mozilla, ie6) are able to handle these tags :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="2columnspg.css" media="screen"
title="TwoColumn">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="printpg.css" media="print">

Adding a title make them available for stylesheet switching in the browser
(mozilla).
