But at the end of the day, {display: table} is just as ridiculous as
div{display:inline} or span{display:block}. Besides, when I made
table-based designs I often found myself nesting tables within tables,
and I ended up with horribly deep code (a bit like Google ads, only for
a reason). With modern CSS we can have table-cells without using table
bodies or rows or even tables... It makes life a lot simpler.

One of the (many) things I wish for is a <grid> tag. Something along
the lines of the following (made up as I go along, so don't nitpick too
much :-)):
<grid>
<gridcell>content</gridcell>
<gridcell>different content</gridcell>
</grid>
This can then be CSS'd of course, in the normal way.
The important point though, is that the number of cells in a grid should
be restricted to an agreed number (4?) AND most importantly, they cannot
be nested! This would provide a solution to the often cumbersome markup
required to produce equal height columns, It would stop 'nestingitis'
and - it would be semantic! It isn't really presentational either, any
more than <p> is . . .
(I can dream, can't I? :-))
