>>Uhhh, the table tags are part of your content. They are the

>>structure.  The presentation are things like headings

Well, I was more thinking of the content (text) as opposed to the presentation 
in a larger sense,
including the container as well. For me, the fact that some text must be laid 
inside a cell inside a table
is part of the presentation scheme for the same reason as bold, italic or 
strong.

>>The perfect example is the <b> tag in HTML.  What does it mean?  It
>>means bold the contained text.  That's a presentation concern, not
>>part of the content.  

Exact, this is why I always write <B>, not <b>, in order to better separate it 
from the content
generally in lower case. And this is why I do not like XHTML.


>>In XHTML you have the <strong> tag.  What does
>>it mean?  The contained text should be 'stronger' than other text. 
>>That's a semantic concern, not presentation.  The you use CSS to
>>supply the presentation info appropriate for the medium, based on the
>>semantic meaning.

I know, this is the philosopy behind SGML and DTDs.
