> The use of floats to create things that look like tabular layout is > fragile Agreed. As useful as the effect is, I don't want to see floats made even more fragile. I think that all of the negative points for using floats, CSS-P and tables add up to a reasonable argument for a new layout syntax, a better implementation of grids that allows for sensible degrading. David Woolley thinks this is a research problem, but I think it's what the WG should be doing. As floats are implemented identically in Moz, Opera and Safari but not in IE and the Moz et al approach seems least fragile, I think the IE approach is unwanted. As useful as the capability is, it's no use if it only works in one browser. I for one would be happy to see consistency on this point. Ben (q) Ben Godfrey?
