PS
And if not done correctly many so called table less layouts I have seen
(using Divs and CSS to "position or align" them on the page to resemble a "table" layout)
are more of a strain on the browser / user than a html table
(especially on slower connections where I have seen them force the browser to re-render the page twice)
IMHO
- just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it

| You're talking about 4 different issues:
|
| 1. Using CSS
| 2. Table-less layout with CSS
| 3. Using XHTML
| 4. Making a W3C-validatable site
|
| Just to be clear.
|
| As for number 1, I recommend using CSS, as it separates the layout style
| from the HTML markup, making the page easier to maintain. In addition, the
| use of external style sheets enables one to apply styles identically across
| all (or a group of) pages in a web site easily.
|
| 2. Not a big deal. CSS has its place, and so do tables. Tables are excellent
| for anything requiring tabular (rows and columns) layout.
|
| 3. For new development, an excellent idea. XHTML has many advantages over
| HTML which are too numerous to revisit. Let's just say that the "X" makes
| all the difference.
|
| 4. Not necessarily necessary. It all depends on what the web site is for.
| Still, W3C validation is useful for a number of reasons. For one thing, it
| ensures that (in the near future) a web page will behave the same in all
| browsers. It also provides a free resource for error-checking.
