Do CSS designers limit themselves **upfront** to layouts that CSS can handle?

Solution

Of course you limit yourself. As a designer, you should always think about the medium you're working with. If I were designing a magazine ad, I wouldn't be thinking about animations or video. There are certain rules you must adhere to, and it doesn't make sense to ignore that.

But of course, rules were always meant to be broken.

Problem

Having asked this question How to reach CSS zen?, I now understand that the issues I have are mostly related to positioning. I've found some articles telling that CSS is not always good enough as a layout system. - http://echochamber.me/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=40154 - http://www.flownet.com/ron/css-rant.html - http://blog.workaround.org/2009/03/17/dont-abuse-css-for-page-layout/ Do you as CSS designers limit yourselves upfront to designs that CSS can handle? Should I avoid things that seems perfectly easy are in fact difficult to do with CSS?
