But that's what you missed. You can specify table layout for any
elements, but since IE doesn't support these properties it doesn't make

CSS 3, Multi-Column Layout, currently a Working Draft. Doesn't

Well, except that it wouldn't be a ton, and the layout of the divs would
be specified entirely in the CSS file. Like the stuff Aaron linked to.
