Hi Jude, well done on discouraging the use of table based presentational layouts in contemporary web design. As horrible as it may be, I 've seen many professional Co.s serving their clients with 100% rows & columns. On the other hand W3C cannot completely rule out the use of tables for presentation, since tables were created to handle complex tabular data in the case of calendars, schedules, statistics... Chances are tables will survive deprecation or there's no guarantee of 100% table-less Markup / Web design.
