|   How are CSS tables not legitimate? AFAIK, the legitimacy issue (at least

In CSS3, TABLEs is just one module.
Browser can claim CSS3 conformance while not supporting tables at all.
BTW: I think this would be really great idea.
Code handlings tables and all hacks around it can take easily 20%-20% of all 
you *rendering* code.
TABLEs is evil!  We should avoid them, either in HTML or in XML.
DIV/SPAN, with display: block, inline, inline-block, is much more clean way 
to do formatting.
Especially in simple cases, like Jesse exposured.
