Inline-table isn't supported by IE: http://www.htmldog.com/reference/cssproperties/display/

(though, judging by the age of that page, it's probably just IE6 and possibly IE7 that doesn't support it).
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Your probably right, perhaps div.items { display: table; float: left; } could achieve something similar that also works in IE6. Who knows ... trying to accommodate all browsers is the domain of CSS ninjas.

Hopefully nobody is going to spit in disgust when I say this, but of course tables are probably the easiest means of achieving a consistent layout across browsers of different eras and vendors, whether they are semantically correct or not.

That's certainly true.
