I thought of that right after I sent the email.  So, what has to happen 
if I move a sub-gallery in the current design?  The gallery has to get a 
new parent, but the images themselves don't need any changes, do they?  
Aren't they just connected to the containing gallery?

I guess I was confusing some things.  I guess what I meant wasn't so 
much XHTML as it was a comment on the heavy use of nested tables for 
layout as opposed to pure CSS for layout.  There are pros and cons to 
using nested tables, though.  In their favor is the broswer 
compatibility factor.  Use of  pure CSS is a little trickier when you 
try and maintain some level of browser compatibility.  Recoding Ansel to 
use pure CSS for layout would be a somwhat major undertaking, right?
