Yeah, and say I've got 2 scripts and 1 skin to get running on the one site, then I've got about 5 or 10
style sheets to go through and it takes HOURS to find how to format one tag. And each style sheet has
about 500 styles on it to show a bit of text and pictures on the page!! And you can't remove <table>
anyway it might be flexible with a company webpage layout and selling a few goods and writing
a few blogs, but full blown DATABASES are starting to emerge in PHP with TABLES of ROWS and
COLUMS. In US and UK and Aus we all speak English, but in Europe everyone speaks 2 or 3 languages,
nobody is trying to demand a unique language for everyone. The browsers handle the dual system fine,
add to that you have 20 billion pages to recode before it works. Why destroy something as elegant as HTML?
Because it puts you in the know as far as I can see.
