Russ makes a good point here and I just thought I would that using tables
for actual tables is not evil either.  That is, in fact, what they were
originally for and still allow critical data formatting (such as numbers
in rows and columns) to be maintained for non-CSS browsers.

The "evil" is in using tables for page layout (as opposed to presenting
tabular content).

It's also important to remember that in a devolved content management
model that the content creator is not likely to use DIV for tables of
numbers/information as they are not likely to have the tools or skills
available.
