Hmmmm, okay.  I can't say I'm terribly surprised.  Could you send me a
screen dump at some point?

Well, I don't think it's even just reliable browser support, in many
ways it appears <div> simply cannot do some things that are easily
done using tables.  For example, I haven't found a way to do the
equivalent of "vertical-align:bottom" in a div-based layout.  

Anyway, I seem to have been able to integrate the two approaches I've
come up with thus far so that one can easily switch between a tables-based 
layout or a CSS div-based layout, by simply adding an include_once
line to local.php.  Both layouts now make use of a common pmwiki.css
file.
