Hi,

a fresh TYPO3 v4.0 install using the css_styled_content template should
not generate any table for the standard set of content elements. The
"table-orgy" has been used for the "Text with images" content element
until now, but this is no longer the case. 3rd party extensions might be
a problem, as some has pretty "ugly" HTML-templates, but some are
beginning to show better output. Indexed-Search has now a table-less
template included in TYPO3 v4.0.

So if you still see "tables" being used for content rendering or
something that is against W3C guidelines, you are invited to put that to
discussion in the content rendering group (newsgroup
"typo3.teams.content-rendering"). We'll be glad to try to find a
solution to the problem.

Cheers,
Ernesto
