Given the state of CSS support by common browsers this is nearly impossible to implement. There are just too many incompatibilities, unimplemented functionality and differing implementation of the same CSS.

I think that for reasonably up to date versions of current browsers, an all CSS layout is very doable. There are more and more sites that are going to all CSS and ditching the nested table paridigm.

Equally important is "why?" afaik the CSS table are not rendered any faster then regular tables and I don't see the advantage of entirely CSS based design. Unfortunately the URL you've provided while certainly shows some very interesting examples does not go into the "why" either.

Here's a great article on the retooling of slashdot.org to an all CSS layout and the features and benefits of implementing the conversion.

Some benefits include: true semantic markup (which aids in search engine optimization), seperating design from content, the ability to have a "printer friendly page" by simply using a diffent style sheet and a reduction in bandwidth load.
