???  Since when is the "table" tag complex?

That's all well and good, but as you point out, it would mean
The maintainers would need to learn "yet another language"
(simple or otherwise)

Actually, here is what I've found of the packages we've "evaluated"
(and ine we haven't)

  * Mambo: requires ZERO knowledge of HTML!  The editor boxes
           have buttons and other things to "do the work for you"
           (like bold/italic/underline, and yes, even tables)

  * Twiki: requires intimate knowledge of HTML and/or "pseudo-html"
           (such as *bold*) as defined by the wiki software itself.

  * Phpwebsite: dunno.  Dustin has made me an admin, but I cannot figure 
           out how to actually change anything on a page.

  * Movable Type: (not actually evaluated on his site, but I've used
           it for my site)  requires SOME knowledge of HTML if 
           you intend to do anything other than a default design.
           While very similar to Mambo, the editor doesn't do the
           work for you.

Hnnn... Is there a "lynx" template/theme available for Mambo?
