Had not meant to raise any debate on this. Not initiated a table
for any layout purpose for quite a while... On the other hand, I
have not rushed to change long established sites that use some
either. I do when I have time. And it is even longer in time that
I used tables for laying out in anything but the most rudimentary
way, left nav col and right content, maybe a third "features"
col. Big skeleton stuff.

Who would make a table the content of their site? Perhaps a
teacher of html tables technology? No, it's ok, no need to
explain - I am typing to distract myself from work.
