Re: Sadly I think I know the answer; can I fail a page that uses TABLE for layout?

Serious question: why are you apparently keen on failing this? What 
actual problem does it cause to users? This lens (looking at what the 
problem is, rather than the underlying markup) is more likely to yield 
better results. For instance, once you look beyond "oh no, it uses a 
TABLE", you may actually find that regardless of the underlying markup, 
the page has issues when it comes to Reflow, for instance.

If it doesn't cause actual problems, is the sad face more about not 
having a kudgel anymore to beat developers over the head with to not 
implement "bad" markup? That was never the point/intention of WCAG...
