But that's what you missed. You can specify table layout for any =

Agreed. I have so much web development hate I could go on for years. I=
=
hate stupid hacks, pages unreadable without CSS, layouts that break in =
anything but Firefox and IE, "Web 2.0," replacing a bunch of unsemantic =
=
code and tables with equally unsemantic (but valid) divs and spans.
Basically we went from this:
<b>Hello there!</b>
To this:
<span class=3D'boldtext'>Hello there!</b>
And what the hell was wrong with b in the first place? We went from sev=
en =
keystrokes to open and close b to 17 keystrokes for strong! Any English=
=
handbook will tell you that bold already means emphasis.
There's stuff above here
