"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time." -- JFK

CSS tip: It isn't quite true that CSS page layouts are incompatible with table layouts. You can use a table for the page layout, and in each table cell, put the content in a div, and position the div 'absolute'. CSS-deprived browsers will use the table, CSS-rich browsers will use the absolute position from the stylesheet.

Is there ever a use for this?

Multiple columns for a page can be more "usable". Having the content in the first column -- or at the top of the page -- is better for accessibility. You can achieve both of these objectives with a table layout. Then you can use CSS absolute positioning to rearrange columns for aesthetics -- so CSS browsers display the navigation in the left column, and the content in the right, for example.
