I also agree, this lays it out the way it is, and it is why people still use tables and it is why I use them...I wish the CSS issues were not there...it is such a terrific idea, and so hard to get right when laying out pages. I would add that a good "visual" editor is going to be necessary for some of us! I cannot translate hard code into the way things lay out on a page, not from the code to the page. I have to have some kind of way to figure where the elements are going to me. That may just be me, but it is what I need, I suspect others will as well.

Joe and I agree 100% on this issue, I think.
