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.
