I'm as much into CSS as the next guy, but there are things you just can't do
with CSS alone - and using JavaScript for element placement is
objectionable.
For example, #p-personal appears earlier in #column-one than say
#p-navigation (and any other sidebars). If you wanted to keep #p-personal
as a standard portlet, but listed _last_ in the column, the only way to do
this (afaik) is to reorder the HTML elements (either before page load - as
in the current system - or via JavaScript).

It certainly would (tremendously improves forwards-compatibility). But
it also means that bad designers can't muck up MediaWiki with
table-based layouts. ;-)
