I think you and many others are confusing content and markup.
If the data to be displayed is tabular, I'd choose tables over div,
simply coz' I want the page to be legible unstyled as well.
I never read the table tag is being deprecated or obsolete. But then
again, there's so many things I haven't read yet.
I'd advise to start a page design by properly choosing the right html
tags for the page elements. Then use CSS to make a nice(r) layout.
Add divs where needed, but at all cost avoid the omnipresent div soup.
Some folks just replaced all their former tag soup for a different soup
flavour.
If your page looks like faeces when viewed unstyled, there's a good
chance you have started the wrong way. And I am willing to admit I
created enough examples of 'the wrong way' myself.
Did I grasp correctly this is the point Richard was trying to make?
Sh.
