An interesting quote from our discussion several

"The problem is, that in mediawiki there is no separation between
layout and content. Everywhere tables are used to make layout.
MediaWiki is pretty sparse about tables, last I checked. The MonoBook skin is
CSS-based and pretty table-free. There might be a couple still hiding around,
please let us know if so.
If you're talking about what *people on Wikipedia* do in spicing up pages with
unnecessary, wasteful, stupid, non-portable markup, that's a different matter.
Tables should never be abused like that, and if you see it happening you should
speak up in that place.
