No it isn't. The use of HTML and CSS is not limited to WWW authoring. For
example, Firefox implements td { display: block; } properly, so the
technique would work in an intranet of a company committed to use Firefox or
a better browser, as well as in a user style sheet of a Firefox user.

Besides, as I described, the goal _can_ be achieved, at considerable cost,
even on IE, by using "absolute" position.

Just because it (probably) shouldn't be done doesn't mean that it cannot be
done.
