I don't think tables are depreciated (in other words its not "bad" to use them - keep in mind that they render differently in different browsers though).

No, of course not. Tables probibly wont ever depreciate unless they're replaced by a better coding technique (essentially, reinventing tables

). I'm just stating that using tables for your whole site's framework/backbone is considered poor coding practice these days.

It still wouldn't make sense to replace certain elements with divs or spans if you're not writing the code fully with CSS, or to change that one tag to be XHTML Strict valid when you're writing the rest of the site with HTML 4.0 Transitional. Consistency is more important.

True

Which is why the push for converting over to full XHTML & CSS code is becoming greater and greater. Can't really avoid standards.
