Er, sorry, no. CSS support is _not_ currently good enough that you
don't need tables, and in fact, apart from older screenreaders which
did not understand them, tables for layout are not a barrier to access,
no more or less than CSS.
Lemme say that again since it rarely gets said:
LAYOUT TABLES DO NOT PRESENT ANY MORE OR LESS A BARRIER TO
ACCESS THAN DOES CSS.
Sorry to shout.
