I don't agree. As Kenny said, the presentational hacks are part of
the
presentational layer.
It is easier to detach a Styles Sheet from a document than to remove
its
table markup.
These debates always sink into a tables versus CSS mentality and that
is really sad. The open-minded, pragmatic approach is simply to allow
that in some cases, perhaps very rare cases, a simple layout table
might be the better solution. I guess pragmatism is simply
incompatible with certain mindsets in this business :-)
Oh well. Back to more productive endeavors!
