why do you think it is an all or nothing deal? we are in a time of transition and we will be for several more years.
just because you can't accomplish a pure 'strict' format with no tables doesn't mean you should be bonehead with a crazy table structure and spacer gifs. trust me once you actually understand how valid markup and style sheets work you will realize why it is the far superior method of doing things.
technically using a table for layout purposes is a hack, so pick the lesser of two evils and remember your goal is to deliver a website that fulfills your clients goals. your client doesn't care how you wrote your code just as long as does what they want it to do. those requirements should also be outlined before you do any work in contract that you both find agreeable.
good luck.
