Tables are a piece of cake compared to the CSS layout model. 

And web designers have been moving away from tables and to CSS for quite

I think that to write a web browser this days you need more than just

What I would like to see is someone working on a replacement for the web

knows when I will get to it, and I really would like to see what others
come up with)
