The WWW already is 'chaos', but that makes it all the more interesting -
of course, the entire planet is in disarray, which is interesting too.
Therefore, don't get too wound up when you come across a website built
on a scaffold of tables, it isn't too long ago that most readers of this
newsgroup authored websites in the same manner. In my opinion, CSS-P
evangelists are just as bad as those who try to force Christianity (or
any other religion) down your throat - and that comes from someone who
has not used tables for layout for several years.

It will take some time before you see large corporate websites switch to
CSS positioning, as it will only be considered prior to a major redesign
($$$). And remember, it is still extremely hard work to make your CSS
layout work flawlessly on Windows, Mac, Linux and a whole range of
browsers and browser versions. We often rely on CSS hacks, depending on
the complexity of the layout, and that is worrisome, considering future
browsers - IE7 comes to mind.
