The main navbar is currently not a list, why did you turn it into <ul>?
If you keep it as is, it is certainly possible to have layout unmodified
for text browsers.

Your last sentence is the key point; XHTML has nothing to do with the
subject of this thread, so do not discuss this issue here and let us
focus on CSS.
HTML pages are generated from templates and some scripts, as described
in http://www.debian.org/devel/website/
Modifying the generated HTML pages to replace tables by CSS is quite
trivial, but as you notice the main problem is to have these changes
accepted. If you have access to different browsers, you may put
screenshots online to show that rendering is identical.
Martin Schulze had a valid argument, some scripts are parsing HTML
or source files. It is likely that they won't notice the move to CSS,
and I will check later that this is indeed the case.
