Again this is off-topic. If you want to promote CSS, let replace tables
by CSS, then everybody can make his opinion, and if there are not much
complaints, let's go further.

I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding. HTML pages are
generated from templates, e.g. the main layout comes from
http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/template/debian/mainpage.wml?cvsroot=webwml
If you are able to replace tables and font commands in this file
by CSS, all pages will take these changes into account. Of course
some other files have also to be modified in the same directory,
but it can be done later if we have no time just now.
It looks like you already modified HTML pages, so I can grab your
changes and propose a patch against this file, let me know where I
can download your modified main page.
