I'm not sure if this is because this project is still
in alpha stage or not, but the presentation layer
output design still seems to use tables heavy for
things that definatly isn't tabular data ie forms
layout etc.

I would like to see this be changed. As a first step
all non-tabular data tables should be converted to
hirarchial div's. From there on an even less hardcoded
HTML source layout - based even more on separated out
CSS stylesheets and less on table-layouts - is very
much to prefer.
How about changing the MOS 'startTable' statement to
something like 'startBlock' etc?

If this is something you have in mind to do, I might be
of service in helping out with converting hardcoded
table layouts into div's and work out css to support
that approach.

My motivation is that I would want to use and integrate
such a web application for the c3ms project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/c3ms/) which I'm heading.
