A table above the main content is not a problem. Putting the main
content inside the table is a problem, because overflowing to the right
doesn't work like it should if the main content is in a table cell.
Now a pre stretches the whole thing and you have to scroll sideways to
read even the non-pre text:
/-View port width-\
+---------------------------+
|Header table |
+--+------------------------+
| |Content, text, blah more|
| |content |
| |Overly-big-pre-in--table|
| |Content, text, blah more|
| |content |
Better:
/-View port width-\
+-----------------+
|Header table |
+-----------------+
Content, text, blah
more content
Overly-big-overflowing-pre
Content, text, blah
more content

No frames, please.
