Good article. Lets stop using this, not only on the web but in normal print docs as well.

I (and many of my peers) have gotten a lot better about not using bad practices like this since moving away from table based design. *sigh*

Different typefaces, even proportional may still have higher legability with the additional space. I agree that in the majority of situations it is not required but that does not mean it covers all situations. When setting out your own typography for a project it is something you need to look at and assess for yourself within your own unique settings.
