Using tables is a shortcut, unfortunately a bad one :(
There are many thousands of users that add content to wikipedia, most of them are probably unaware that using tables for layout is bad.
People use tables as a convenience to circumvent the limitations of the HTML/XHTML specifications.
IMHO wikipedia is well known to all kinds of users, devs and normal users, so it might sense to have a similar way of presenting information, simply because people are used to it. If the wikipedia-layout can be done using CSS, fair enough, if not, then it is CSS's fault not the designer's. I like to use CSS, yet I know that it can become quite tedious and has limitations, as you mentioned. Sven
