Ah, but it was not a pro XHTML post, any more than advice to a
person who already has a fair sized old working site using a
simple 2 col table to keep a nav on the left and the rest on the

Still, you are right in that someone might have a legitimate

there are others too. JK is basically saying there is no point in
going to the trouble for no good reason.
