Your argument is based upon valid uses of CSS (aesthetics), however - aesthetics does not equate to proper SEO. Your CSS positioning (to place content higher in the markup, not not so visually) will eventually be penalized so I will not consider this a valid point.

Or...
<table>
<tr>
<td>Content Area</td><TD>Navigation</TD>
</tr>
<tr rowspan=2>
<td>footer stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>
Simplify the order of content with good structure along those lines. |
If you want to stick with up to date standards, this is completely unacceptable. It is syntactically valid, but not semantically. The rule is: only use tables for data that should go into a table (think spreadsheet).
