I totally agree. Anyway I always try to make an alternate CSS file for 
older browsers, so to have a "simplified" site view and still be able to 
read contents and follow links.

You can try this: <http://www.edoras.it/>. It's entirely XHTML 1.0 Strict, 
and it doesn't make use of tables for element positioning. Try also to 
reach the site with NN4.x and see the difference... :-)
