I'm happy with this wording. Having said that, I still have some
uncomfortable feelings for having Presentation module and making CSS
support mandatory at the same time.

I think Presentation module is as equally useful to "simple printer" as
to "simple client". If we have Presentation module, why not allowing
the use of XHTML-Print by itself (separating from CSS-Print) with
the help of simple formatting specification provided by Presentation
module?
