So? How do you think most of us learned how HTML works? We took a
page, saved it, tinkered with it, and saw how the tags did what they did.
Tags are like a simple form. they are not content.

The rule, I believe, is 20 percent content before copyright
infringement can be claimed. This is not even content, it is layout
information. Lots of books copy each other's layout.
Now, if he kept a background URL, or this was a particularly hairy
combination of tables and frames, or the tables all had characteristic
color coding that gave it a "look and feel"; that might look different in
a court of law.
But to just copy and tinker with a layout, that is done all the time
by those new to HTML, or any other word processor.
