It's a good question. Text browsers will generally do better with simplified markup. For example, lynx works much better with the dt/dd-based markup proposed here: http://www.princexml.com/howcome/2009/wikipedia/infobox/ than the current nested-table approach. So, when I say "rely more on CSS", I mean rely more on CSS for *styling* and leave the semantics to HTML.
