It may be off topic, but I think it would be very cool if the site was
designed using CSS layout, i.e. no nested tables. A great example site is:

It would make site development very straightforward, and allow people to
switch look and feels very easily.

I agree with Gary, except for one big thing.
Precise CSS positioning that’s cross-browser compatible (IE, Mozilla, Opera,
Netscape, Mac) is a pain royalé, sitting right next to impossible. I’ve done
it and it’s nuts. Unless you don’t care if your stuff is misaligned by five
pixels or so, you’re guaranteed a long, frustrating coding session. What
looks terrific in IE is a shambles in another browser.

Very true, but I’ve found that simply specifying the correct doctype for pages
works like magic, at least on modern browsers:
HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd”
Using this works amazingly well - the results are nearly identical across the
browsers I’ve checked. More info can be found at:

OTOH, if you *do* get it to work, it looks spectacular. :)
