Less bandwidth? yep -- do the math
Less server load? not really

tableless layouts are treated as text -- what I mean is that your browser will display the first character as soon as it reads it

with tables (it depends on code and the browser you use) ...
some content may not be displayed until the last character within table is read

tableless layouts can be viewed on all modern appliances (pdas, etc)

Thank you for breaknig it down.


So pretty much the only thing you are saving is b/w and disk space and giving pda's the ability to use it? Bah. This seems to be someone jsut lookngi for something to complain about.
