I *did* read the damned link.

It *doesnt* describe what I'm talking about.

I'm not talking about "make a <UL> look like a table", I'm talking about
"with this .css file, the navigation box is on the right, with that .css
file, it's on the left", without having to put the navigation box in a float
and play games with layers to drop the box in different places.

I'm saying "I agree with the original decision that using tables for overall
layout was a bad idea... but not because they were called "tables", but
because using HTML for layout is a bad idea". Calling them a "STACK" of
"ROW"s instead of a "TABLE" of "TR"s doesn't change that.
