I have been pushing to keep the 508 standards or accessibility by clean design in mind with our new site redesign. We came upon a stumbling block in regards to photo galleries (we take a lot of pictures for our events) and the overuse of tables to display these. I am building a completely CSS-based layout, and I would hate to break this by using table-based layout for photo albums simply because Photoshop's automated photo gallery maker only has templates with frames (big no no) and a lot of tables.
I can not speak to the 508 standards in general, but can offer an example for the CSS layout. Take a look at http://photofiles.lib.uchicago.edu/, and search for "abbott". If you resize the browser window, the thumbnails will rearrange themselves according to your browser width - dynamic table width via CSS, as it were. If that resizing is acceptable, it should solve the <table> part of the problem. Check for div.datum, I think, in the CSS. NB: this was someone else's work.
