Hmmm... I think if any style is used more than once on your site it should be stuck in an external stylesheet. Laziness is a virtue in this case as it allows you to change all the instances at once. Very similar to the idea behind Perl modules. You can then have a stylesheet for each section of your site (if they look different) that imports the appropriate styles for the section.
I just hope CSS3 adds an easier way to make divs line up horizontally because multi-column layout is a huge pain right now...

yea I know how you feel, if you try and do positioning in JavaScript, forget about it working in all browsers, I've had to stick to Mozilla and IE, forget Opera, it won't even run at all...

CSS doesn't do columns very well, despite these attempts. You have to use absolute or percentage positioning, which is less flexible than using tables where column widths can be adjusted depending on content (eg a long, non-breaking word likethisifyouseewhatiam).
I've resorted to using tables for columns, css for everything else. That gives the best results.

Thats the same thing I did, I sometimes used css and inside tables to get some rather clever things to work, (you will not belive the pain to get corners to line up).
