Was the use of tables for layout specified in the project brief? I doubt that it would have been. I would suggest that you take the line that the client has employed you as a specialist in your field, and you will provide them with a solution/product that is suitable for their needs. If their preferred design does not scale well across their supported browsers without the use of a table for layout, then you will use the table as a layout aid. If it is not required, and there are few instances where one would be, then there is no technical, semantic, or logical argument for using one.
