Layout is basically a matter of CSS, not HTML. This is c.i.w.a.html, not
c.i.w.a.stylesheets. Admittedly, you _could_ do some simple layout in
HTML, and, somewhat debatably, this is also about structure.

show/hide quoted text

That would break users' expectations. That's not the way things are
commonly presented. Besides, it would confuse people who use simple
show/hide quoted text

What you _should_ want is

Login: textbox
Password: textbox

and a way to achieve this is

show/hide quoted text

If you really want the layout you describe, the table approach can be
used with obvious modifications.
