At least it's a start. And truthfully as much of a CSS junkie as I like
to be when it comes down to outright production time it is still quicker
to whip sites out using tables if for no other reason then not having to
deal with ALL the discrepancies between browsers, version, OS's, etc...
It really adds a lot of time to the process. Reminds me of HTML 10 years
