    IMO quirksmode+css is a very nice environment. xhtml? allright, but only if really necessary. Tableless? No. So far, tables give me more control over layout. CSS positioning could have been a great tool if it were invented by designers, not nerds who didn't understand the basic need of centering the content in the middle of the screen and came up with dumb ideas like that an empty div without height attribute shouldn't be visible. They also fucked up the box model which was naturally intuitive in microsoft's version.
    They do everything to get flash out of the picture.

    The more I learn about css positioning, the more I'm convinced in my observations. I'm still learning it, and will see if I change my mind before css4 or 5
