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. | > Most documents do not have any structure, anyway. | | Then we should stop pretending that they do.

There is similarly nothing "Bad" in using them. 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. | | Boris -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
