> My conclusion: Tables are dead. CSS now.
Well, unless CSS can provide the same layout capability than table,
and keep the same reading order when turned off, it's hard to
say.

That's my point.
W3C's home page layout design is 2 major columns with 2 sub-columns in
the left major column; the right major column is the table of content
into the domain activities and the left column contains 3 zones: a
lead story cell starting with our logo, 2 background info sub-columns,
and some trailer text (not to mention a bunch of margins)
ascii art, that gives something like:
lead story lead story domain column
lead story lead story domain column
lead story lead story domain column
lead story lead story domain column
domain column
----------------------- domain column
domain column
background background domain column
background background domain column
background background domain column
background background domain column
background background domain column
background background domain column
domain column
trailer trailer trailer domain column
trailer trailer trailer domain column
trailer trailer trailer
and the reading order is:
lead story
domain column
background
trailer
Is that doable with today CSS implementation ?
I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong, I haven't spent much time on
it.
