Actually, the original W3C proposal for tables specifically mentioned using them for layout. I can't find a working link, but there's also a RFC:
The HTML table model has evolved from studies of existing SGML tables models, the treatment of tables in common word processing packages, and looking at a wide range of tabular layout in magazines, books and other paper-based documents.[1]
It was only later when table layouts began to be discouraged.
