It's our own CMS and we can only restrict content editing to a point. If
somone needs to put in a 12 column table because that data NEEDS to be
published, then I'm not in a position to tell them they can't. It's part
politics, part lack of staff/editors, part practicality.

The catch is that tables do this quite well, so in many ways, I guess
that is the better solution in this case. I'm just bummed that I have to
slap a table in there. ;o)

Ideally, if someone WANTS to put in a really wide chunk of content, I'd
like them to be able to do it. Alas, the page would have to scroll
horizontally, but at least they could do it.
