Ask YC: Why is YC's layout table based?

Who maintains 'hundreds of pages' of HTML? Don't you offload everything into templates or dynamically generate it? The last time I managed hundreds of pages of html, or even html with dynamic content spliced in, was in 2001, and that was against my will.

A quick rewrite took care of that too. HTML is an output format, not a language.

As an output format, it should be easily altered to display in various forms.

CSS with semantic HTML achieves this, embedded presentation does not.

> achieves this

The hell it does... Not to mention that separating the two is such a futile waste of time in so many cases.
