[ale] [OT] Stylesheet question

[Tyler Kiley]

When you want to have complete control over the spacing of a lot of elements 
on an html page, you wind up with a lot of empty "spacer" cells (or some 
funny nesting with special cellpadding/cellspacing values, or something else 
like that) unless you use css.

Css doesn't remove the need for tables (unless you specify the positioning of 
each layer, which is only helpful under certain circumstances), but it 
removes the need for some ugly hacks involving tables.
