I didn't know that you previously had a grid and I agree that divs are
not so easy and tables are more predictable and reliable.  However,
tables will seldom be chosen as a basis for attractive designs these
days and this thread is named 'beautification' :-)   I believe that
people will continue to move away from table layouts to embrace CSS in
more inventive ways.

Of course we can all go off and do our 'own thing'.  However,  it
would still be nice if the community could choose an acceptable layout
using divs and common names which could be used as a foundation for
our individual efforts.  We could then possibly tempt more people to
design good templates,  or better still, use a stock of templates that
have been designed for other projects.

Clearly,  the solution must be bulletproof,  low or zero maintenance
and simple.  I am just trying to help in exploring the idea and I do
not necessarily think the answer is a grid,  although that system does
have benefits.
