I believe what he meant was that using tables for layout of
non-tabular data is a hack.
tables were intended for laying out tabular data.
This is an interesting assertion. Perhaps it would be a good
question for Tim Berners-Lee. Was table markup intended to mark up
tabular data or to lay it out? I imagine that HyperText Markup
Language was intended to mark up information and that browsers were
intended to present it. That sort of fits with the situation today
in which we all use the same markup language that's presented
somewhat differently from browser to browser. Is it possible that
back in those first years of the world wide web no one was making a
distinction between markup and layout? Hmm.
