It's just not recommended as that's what the table really is for anyway.
I agree that spitting out standard tables, rows or cols of data can easy be done with a wide mixture of css features.

I was thinking more towards paysite tours.. Yes, the majority could be or should be fully css based, everyone can see our industry is mad behind on this. Some paysites though are complex as hell in design/layout, it wouldn't be logical to build it all in css.

Maybe I could convert it over, but I look at the size. As long as it's an inner table and use css for structure around it, and control the table elements. I used less lines and data, before the css duplicate was even half way completed.

I haven't noticed any issues with the se's reading text within 1 layer of table, or before/after or between many 1 layer tables.

I'm sure at some point of just wanting to screw with it, anything can become possible. Like html/tables, CSS can get overly bulky and slow down too.
