Currently, a grails-generate-all, or generate-views will generate HTML with a lot of tables in it. While tables themself are not bad, using them for formatting is, since formatting them in a different way is hard. Consequences of this are that skinning Grails is quite impossible, unless you rewrite all the HTML too. Therefor I propose to drop all the tables from the HTML, and change them into DIV's.
