hehe. I wouldn't expect anyone to go back and retool all of there stuff to
support a new standard. However, CSS 2.0 has been around for several years, and
the use of tables for layout is not an official standard, it's only a standard
in so much that we wall used it because there was nothing else that could do
what it did. :D

My point is that there is no reason not to develop new sites using official
standards. It really is important, and while the learning curve appears
daunting at first, it's really not, and the dev time saved later is phenomenal.
