I disagree. The idea that using display: table-cell does not seem to
be any more semantically correct than simply placing the element in a
table cell according to the W3C
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/tables.html#value-def-table-cell):
table-cell (In HTML: TD, TH)
Specifies that an element represents a table cell.
Rather, it simply seems to compound the issue by abstracting the
placement of non-tabular data in tabular form rather than just setting
the display positioning.
Are there other methods for vertical alignment that have better
suppourt or seem to be less tabular in nature?
