With the method I presented a good maximum is not hard to find except
for pathologically odd text or window size. Under those circumstances
the rendering is not as pretty, but is easy to use and accessible, and
would render on hand held devices and specialized devices in a way that
would not confuse any of them.

That is misrepresentation of the worst sort.
Some of us actually see the _value_ of semantic markup.
There is now a huge increase in the number of devices and handhelds, and
many are confused by non-semantic markup.
It is no huge sin to use a table as you want to. We just have a way
that is better because it will display usably and accessibly (if not
prettily) everywhere and under all circumstances.

That's the second time you've written that.
Methinks the gent protestith too much.
Perhaps you should stop misrepresenting others' motivations before
making the claim again?
