>I fail to see that analogy ;) hehe. Simple. If you need to get to the shop, use a ford. A boeing would be overkill.

Well yes and no, lets take a step back and accept that if were were going to use the DIV approach vs TABLE in regards to CSS Properties your code would go from this: <table> <tr> <td>data1</td> </tr> </table> to <div id="semanticallycorrect_wrapper_identification" class="tbl"> <div class="row"> <div class="cell"> </div> </div> -OR- <employees> <employee> <name>data1</name> </employee> </employees> The spirit of XHTML for me was to basically bring chaos to order in terms of marking up HTML to something that is "semantically" correct in its approach. Making machines understand a language instead of taking queus from visual meanings (ie <b> vs <strong> debates etc). > It's not Ford vs. Holden, it's Ford vs. Boeing.
