See this document: | >http://www.jmmcc.com/testing/centering1.html . | | How are CSS tables not legitimate? AFAIK, the legitimacy issue (at least | as far as WAI goes) is about using HTML tables, and not about marking | something as a table-cell in CSS. In CSS3, TABLEs is just one module. Browser can claim CSS3 conformance while not supporting tables at all. BTW: I think this would be really great idea. Code handlings tables and all hacks around it can take easily 20%-20% of all you *rendering* code. TABLEs is evil! We should avoid them, either in HTML or in XML. DIV/SPAN, with display: block, inline, inline-block, is much more clean way to do formatting. Especially in simple cases, like Jesse exposured.
