I've discovered a one-skin option to consider.Conditional Comments are only used by IE. We could use those to insert the HTML table elements only for old versions of Internet Explorer. For example, this <div id='wikileft'> <!--wiki:{$Group}.SideBar {$SiteGroup}.SideBar--> </div> becomes something like this <div id='wikileft'> <!--[if lt IE 8 ]><td valign='top'><![endif]--> <!--wiki:{$Group}.SideBar {$SiteGroup}.SideBar--> <!--[if lt IE 8 ]></td><![endif]--> </div>
MSIE<8 will see this exact markup as invalid, ie. div tags in the space between the <table>, <tr> and <td> tags. It will probably display fine though, or it can definitely be made valid with some tweaking.
But will this still be in line of the goals of the original skin? IIRC simple and easy to study and modify by a novice administrator?
Recalling from previous discussions with Pm and the community, probably the least bad solution would be to add the (previous simpler) tableless skin with a different name. Keep the current default skin named "pmwiki". Add in the sample-config.php the two skins so people can select the one which they want. Not force a change to existing websites which upgrade.
