Lastly, nested tables I don't think are THAT much of a problem. CSS can be useful in other ways - e.g. to display almost the same information in a completely different way that may benefit low vision people, or mobile users. It's some uses of ajax and the like that can be a problem, not so much a table based layout or something like that.
