Can I start by saying that I know very little about screen readers.
That being said, it would seem to me that if screen readers have problems with tables within HTML, then would it not have been a better idea to improve the screen reader software to fix this as opposed to outlawing using tables within HTML?
It just seems stupid to switch to CSS, when it doesn't render web pages the same in any two browsers.
If developers are going to be forced to use CSS instead of tables then shouldn't CSS at least be consistent accross all browsers!
