That's freakish how the site, Haiku, on first impression seems like it was built with web standards in mind. Of course even though you explained their code was horrendous, I still had to take a peek under the good. They don't even have a DOCTYPE declaration. Pity, actually. You could build the same site with perfectly formed XHTML and CSS and it would be fantastic. I think it blinded me forever. Wow!

May be that's reason why they didn't use tableless design.

NetPositive, the outdated default BeOS web browser displays the hakui website flawlessly. Since I'm using an outdated copy of BeOS, me likes. It wouldn't do to give their target audence an ugly website, would it? I love web standards and all, but I see why they did it.
