Well, good for you. I left slicing way behind after my first
attempt at a website. I made a home page that was one of the best
looking I have ever made. But it was a nightmare to work with and
that was it, bye bye. I still have a remnant for a couple of
pages, they too look nice and I keep putting off redesigning
them. The JS and table layout that holds it together so amazingly
would be sure to get me killed here.

But your use sounds very much more sophisticated than anything I
did.

Well, that seems to be the same experience as mine. Pity. Would
have thought that by CS3 time they would have included a little
sophistication on this score.
