I think Travis meant that there is a smaller learning curve to
getting a table layout to look good and consistent over all
browsers. Surely he is right, eh young Jonathan?

If you set out a table for reasonable aims for websites, along
with the methods of achieving them, along further with the levels
of difficulty, and then, for good measure make a set of the
various possible graphs, remarks like Travis's come from looking
at different graphs to what you are looking at.
