I disagree with the 'master of one thing' argument.
I pretty much feel that at least knowing the basics of CSS and the web is equivalent to knowing the basics of InDesign: I don't think they are necessarily more or less complex than each other, and I'd expect most designers (particularly news grads) to have at least a tiny bit of exposure to CSS etc.
But also what I reckon is even better than actual web skills is evidence that they have 'had a go' at the CSS stuff, or maybe keen to get stuck in. The same goes for pure dev guys wanting to have a go at design for the web.
An intern who is a pure typo/print guy we have had in recently redeveloped his site using some nice, subtle, Javascript effects. It isn't the most efficient or well coded stuff but I was dead impressed.
