You can say:
.main { margin-top : 1.0em }
Or whatever.

Not to start a religious war here, but I personally find nothing wrong in
table based layouts. Most of them are even very accessible to people with
disabilities. (as I was told).
When using CSS layout, I sometimes have to work very to get the design I
want and even that is suboptimal. Implementing a navigation bar using a
table is not a big deal.

In .htaccess put:

That is assuming Apache allows you to change this particular configuration
in the .htaccess there. Else you'll need access to the main Apache
configuration file.
