I think they should have cloned HTML tables and called it <layout> or something. It's certainly not perfect, but it would have been an easy way to solve a lot of problems. I know it violates the strict separation of style and content, but how well has that actually worked out? (This is me just being cranky -- I've done a bunch of typesetting resume's and such when I was younger -- so having tabs work like they used to on old typewriters, where you set them to a defined distance from the left, would have solved a bunch of problems, too.)
