Pah, that was subdued compared to what they deserve. The duty of tables has been despoiled for far too long, and it's time to make a stand against these evil-doers. :@
Screw the w3c, it's got bugger all to do with what they want. (And it's probably their fault this whole mess exists in the first place.)
You need to ask yourself "if I did this with Office, would I use Excel" - if the answer is no, you don't use tables.
If the answer is yes, then you might use tables, or you might use lists.
It's not about what appears to work - it's about using the correct tool for the job. You can use a knife for a screwdriver, but if you've got a rack full of assorted screwdrivers you pick the appropriate one and use that. </poor analogy>
I'm not going to go on and on about this (any more than I already have done :P) but misusing tags is a serious issue - the sooner it becomes history the sooner the web can move onto getting cool features, and the better search results will be.
(And if people recommend bad code, I will jump on them. :{))
while I appreciate all you're saying, and even agree with most of it, I stick by my reasoning that the request was to change the code so the clocks went horizontally rather than vertically, not to rewrite the whole shebang 'properly'
