Can you explain why this is wrong? I appreciate this was never intended, but what is actually wrong here?

What makes it wrong is the fact that we already have means for describing complex graphics that are:

  - more readable
  - easier to maintain
  - easier to tweak
  - much more powerful

For similar reasons it's considered to be wrong to use HTML tables for page layout instead of CSS.
