I'm surprised this article makes no mention of CSS3, which has a solution to equal column heights. Besides, didn't the promotion of CSS-only layouts for tabular content only come about after the introduction of CSS2, with predictable results?

These are the options I see in decreasing order of immediate utility: 1. Use tables if that's the most elegant solution. 2. Promote/advocate for adoption of CSS3. 3. Propose another means for layout. 4. Complain about CSS2.

Ahh! I had forgotten CSS3 already had some new love for columns. Excellent.

Also, I agree with your options. Tables for this one little thing won't kill us until we get widespread CSS3.
