That is indeed interesting...
I have been working with DW in a production environment for about 4 years
and have not witnessed code (markup) being generated like that, unless asked
to do so.

Example. I asked DW to make a table, 100% in width, 3 rows and 2 columns.
Here is the markup it gave me...

<table width="100%" summary="test table">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

The non-breaking spaces it inserts are just placeholders, where other
objects/content would be placed. After content is added, it looks like this
(no code cleaning was done)...

<table width="100%" summary="test table">
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor si</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consect</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit am</td>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscin</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit </td>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectet</td>
</tr>
</table>

Looks pretty clean to me, nicely indented, etc...

I'm not trying to convince you to use the tool. Use whatever you are
comfortable, happy & productive with. :-)
