You are suggesting moving a page that:
1. Is almost standards compliant (needs to sort out the head elements
and some unclosed tags, etc. and it's there).
2. Separates content from layout.
3. Is relatively screen-reader friendly (add a hidden "skip navigation"
div at the top of the page linking to "middle" would make it better)
4. Users CSS em font sizes so even poor unfortunates using Windows IE
can easily resize fonts if they find themselves squinting too much.
5. Will flow to fit any screen.
to a page that:
1. Uses font tags. Font tag size differ greatly between browsers and
platforms.
2. Is not screen-reader friendly (they have a hard time when tables are
not used to display tabular data).
3. Uses font tags!
4. Uses tables!
Mika, please don't!
