[thelist] CSS or table?

Using just CSS instead of tables for the layout helps seperate the content
from the presentation.  So, you can take the basic structure of the HTML
page, apply a new stylesheet, and it can look totally different.

CSS does have its limitations though, which is why I went back to a table
layout on my own site (though it's very simplified).  I believe in CSS3
there's work on a column system or something, so hopefully by the year 2050
we can get rid of tables altogether.

Tables are still good for structuring data like they were intended, but it's
the use of them as a layout I'd want to avoid.
