I hope none doubts that there is a problem with the system here (CSS specs)

Problem is that *hacks* exist in *any* system!
Let me take example with cars and roads.
On most highways in Europe (with exception of Germany) you can drive at speed 
of 130km/hour max.
And still people drive at higher speeds! They (sometimes) prefer to pay 
penalties (fine), and drive faster - but not to follow *rules*.
This just illustarets that system (driving rules) are designed in a *wrong 
way*.
If system was correct - than there is no reason to break the rules.

Good idea, BTW!

table for *tabulat data* is ok, IMO.
Let's say: tables *without attributes* (styled via CSS) are ok.
Tables produced by FrontPage or other authoring tools - no.
