Tables can be quite a pain, too. And the standards exist for the primary
reason (-whether the w3c realizes it or not) of making all (general web)
browsers work the same with the same markup. We're parsecs from that
utopean goal which will probably never be reached, but wouldn't it be nice
if you had something like a 98% level of confidence that some splotch of
markup would work identically in all browsers?

Css will evolve. I wouldn't give up too quickly.
