Here.

Looks fine with or without your style sheet at 800x600 and up.

At 640x480 the text around the photograph disappears into the photograph. This effect could be eliminated by using pixel instead of percentage widths, which I'd rather not do.

I think I'll give this up all together.

The Right Thing To Do is encourage the use of CSS, and that means not using structure--TABLE--to impose style.

I'm not so sure your idea is a bad one. Remember that JohnRob was talking about limiting column widths for readability. Just think about it for a while. Maybe the right solution is to use this for multi-column posts. And that article you posted on the page would have worked better if the picture hadn't been so big. Most threads don't have pictures quite that large in the article.

I tend to think that there is no single perfect solution for all articles. But something like your TABLE template could be pretty useful, especially for some of the long plain-text articles. If I get some time, I might play around with it some more.
