So what do you use for layout? CSS absolute positioning? I'm highly skeptical.

But from looking at the "Submit your Design" link I see they have some
elaborate forms with no tables. Mmm, I'm less skeptical.

Yes! This is what I want. So the following:

classname descendantelem {
        style
}

means to apply the style to descendantelems but you can assign the class to any 
ancestor?

Can I mix styles for table and td tags like the following?

table.t, table.t th, table.t td {
    empty-cells: show;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: lightgrey;
}    

The emtpy-cells and border-callapse styles are table specific I think
but the above appears to work.

Thanks,
Mike
