I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there is nothing actually
WRONG with HTML tables except for prejudice against them.  And sometimes
a simple table is actually needed for layout coz otherwise it just gets
too complex and fails when trying to avoid tables.  For everything you
can show where non table use is better, I can show you multiple browsers
where tables will be the only thing that works.

Reminds me of the people that said "Goto is bad and should never, ever
and not even then be used.".  EFL code is full of goto's, I don't use
them myself, but prefer nested if's.  Though apparently nested if's is
really really bad, and some people have replaced my nested if's with
goto's just coz.  You can't win, one or the other has to be used, but
one or the other group thinks the other is really really bad.  I don't
think goto's are bad, I just tend to not use them much, unless doing
assembly, where they are pretty much mandatory.

Recently it seems that the other sort of software table, the
spreadsheet, or two dimensional array of cells, has gone out of favour
and is starting to be called bad things.  People invent all sorts of
crazy things, and even call them fancy names to pretend they are not
really tables, coz "table" is just old fashioned, really bad, and never
ever needed any more.  Guess what?  Tables are sometimes the PERFECT
thing you need.  Avoiding them out of fashion makes no sense.

It's really all about personal style, there's nothing actually wrong
with any of these things.  So saying that they are bad is just wrong.
Saying something is bad just coz it's not fashionable is completely
wrong.

On the other hand, you are doing this work, not me, so you can apply
your own rules of coding style.  Just don't say something is bad simply
coz you don't like them personally, or coz it's fashionable to say so.
Remember, it was fashionable to bag goto's once as being really really
bad, but compilers reduce all the fancy ways of not using goto's to
goto's anyway.  shrugs
