Tables are one of the weakest parts of HTML. The lazy loading in e.g. Chrome History or Yahoo Mail is an awful, jumpy experience. Even the very best implementations, like Fastmail, still break basic browser features including Find and Print.

I'd agree for naive uses of HTML tables, but HTML+CSS incorporates sizing, overflow rules, etc.

Which is what you'd need in any general arbitrary-content infinite-stream model.

What is the alternative?
