    I did one back in 2003, as posted here:

    http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/discuss/examples/notable-calendar.html

....and further discussed here:

I find tableless monthly calendars an interesting exercise, but am 
ambivalent about their utility.  It's easily argued that a 
month-calendar is a table with columns for days of the week and rows 
for weeks.  On the other hand, it's also the case that an ordered 
list of the days in the month could be made into a grid-style 
calendar.
    Between the examples I posted, and the ones Grady posted, I think 
there are good examples of how to do this without tables.  As to 
whether it's "correct" or "wrong" or what-have-you to do so, let's 
just leave that alone, if we could.  Given the examples of how to do 
a calendar both with and without tables, I think we can trust folks 
to pick the approach that best suits their project and temperament.
