1. If, as the regulars in this newsgroup believe, CSS is clearly
superior to table code for defining page layout, why are *none* of
these sites relying on CSS for that purpose?

Because most people learn css by experimenting and by looking at
other's css. If there are not lots of examples to copy from, people
are not even aware of the possibility. If they are aware, they back
off waiting for other sites to implement it first worrying browser
compatibility problems.
