CSS layout tables are not a substitute for an HTML data table. CSS layout tables are just presentation (CSS). There's no semantic HTML making it a table of rows and columns at all. We need to find something to call it that doesn't involve the word 'table.' Grid might be better except CSS3 has another property called grid. Got any good ideas? Yeah, inline-block is pretty handy, for sure. David, CSS display:table properties aren’t real tables. CSS layout tables are not a substitute for an HTML data table.

After all, you can always give IE a real table if table layout is essential. There's no substitute for inline-block as far as I know.
