I am trying to experiment with CSS-P for a new site, but not sure that I am ready for some of the advanced (debugging) things yet.
I am planning to use a simple two column layout, but occasionally may want to layout some things within those main divs. Are there any issues with using tables for layout WITHIN CSS-P divs?
Right now, the other option would be to not use divs at all...
well i use tables within div for tabular data and haven't experimented much problems so far.
I keep using tables for form contents too cause i haven't found out a nice way to do things really properly and in a cross browser fashion with css, although i wish i could do it using divs as well.
I'd say go on as much as you can with css-p, once you reach either your technical limits or those of the browsers (or of course for tabular data) go on with tables.

IE5 and 5.5 handle embedded tables vastly different to IE 6. Beware. I just came here to ask about this, hopefully someone has a solution.
Watch out for margin overflows with mozilla.
If your table contents won't fit into the space available in the browser window by default it will overflow into the margin.
IE doesn't do this. Instead it pushes the margin outside the viewable area.
I got around it using min-width to make mozilla act similar to IE. You can also use the css overflow property.
If anyone knows of a different way around it, I'd love to hear it. I don't like having to worry about setting min-width
