Neither do I. It *is* in most cases bad form to use CSS in a way that 
doesn't degrade gracefully. This is most likely to be done with positioning 
or possibly float, and less likely with the display property (apart from 
careless use of "none" and in some cases the table values). 

That many current and future UAs don't/won't support table display is not 
much of a problem, and neither are UAs that don't support CSS at all or has 
the support turned off. Buggy support, like notoriously Netscape 4 and 
Internet Explorer 3, now that's another story...
