bored, and in typical me fashion, I had to check your own site against
the same validators that you ran passed the microsoft blogs...
All good, except for the feedback page

With that particular page, and with the example you used, then I'd say
yes, a tabular layout is well justified. In fact I wouldn't even
recommend structuring data in that fashion using divs/spans etc, as the
markup would a) be as bulky as hell, and b) provide no relationship

Actually, Microsoft are going to be pushing IE7 as a high priority
update through Windows Update.

So for many people (at those who have automatic updates turned on), IE 7
will be installed automatically
There is another option available to you (assuming you're running
Windows XP and simply dont want to lose IE6)...
There are a couple of tools for running IE7 is standalone mode,

I don't think you will ever find a unified agreement on the way naming
conventions are used. Even after a couple of replies, you can clearly
see that even people promoting web standards can use different styles.
The only advice I can really give is be consistent, or you'll just end

(as a lot to do with this is based on what your webserver is configured
to do, and also how an individual browser reacts).
In general, once an image has been loaded once (by whatever method,
html/css/javascript), then

its own meaning (i.e. is it symbolic of its own message).
It's purely elementary of course, but the different interpretations are
a reason why the opinion is split.

Hi John,
There are perfectly valid reasons for using css to generate imagery, and
