It appears that the campaign against using HTML tables for layout has been slightly too successful with some people, and that the message has gotten garbled. Using HTML tables for layout is evil because it means that markup is being abused, not because they are tables. Using HTML lists, or frames, or <div>s for layout reasons only is equally evil. Using CSS for layout is never evil, because CSS was _designed_ to be used for layout purposes. -- Ian Hickson ``The inability of a user agent to implement part of this specification due to the limitations of a particular device (e.g., non interactive user agents will probably not implement dynamic pseudo-classes because they make no sense without interactivity) does not imply non-conformance.'' -- Selectors, Sec13
