If you still want to proceed, after reading the CSS3 draft, the right place is www-style@w3.org. > > Code for tables side by side is byside.html > Code for table one below other is in onebelow.html > The only difference between two file is 'align' parameter. These examples, on a quick examination, appear to be abusing tables for layout purposes. You should code them as divisions, paragraphs, etc. and then style them to display: table, display: table-cell, etc., always assuming that a more direct approach doesn't work.
