Um, not it isn't.  XHTML is HTML with some modifications to make it more
conforming to the rules of XML.

HTML, that is, *strict* HTML 4.0 is "tableless CSS stuff and standard HTML".

Actually, both HTML4 and XHTML1 allow for table-based layouts.  It's
just that those who use strict HTML usually realise that table-based
layouts are a bad idea.

Yes.  All browsers can view them fine (so long as you hide your CSS from
crappy browsers like Navigator4, IE3, and IE4).
