I wasn't expecting the recommendations to be so scary!   :O)

In Zeldman's 2003 book, he talks about using hybrid layouts -- tables for
the grid, CSS for everything else.  2.5+ years later, am I still better off
doing that, compatibility-wise?  (I'd hoped to avoid a hybrid layout so that
savvy users could make dramatic changes by just editing the CSS.)

It's important to me to try to make the right decisions early on, since this
theme will be eventually be used by tens of thousands of people.

Zoe:  I appreciate the "do not reply" note.  This hasn't been an issue on
other lists, and Outlook threads properly (maybe Thunderbird 1.5 does too?),
so I'd have never known about it!
