i don't think you are missing anything. imo what you are proposing in your
example is not tabular data at all. it's content followed by a string of
dots ending in more content. if you are critized for thinking this is
tabular data, then you should be critized; but, if you are being critized
for wanting to pursue this type of presentation outside of a table, then i
too am critized.

The tabular data thread reminds me of one I participated in in another
group.
The original post was:

I have a page with a list of officers of an organization. It's an obvious
application for a table because that's what tables were designed for. But
I
wanted it to look the way it did in the printed version, where there was a
row
of dots leading from the heading to the person's name. For example (and
this
might not look right depending on your browser or viewer):
President..................................John Smith
Vice-president.........................Janet Jones
In other words, the items in the two columns line up horizontally, and the
cell on the left is filled out with dots.

I'm curious to know what members of this group think about this. Should
this
be considered tabular data or not?
Do you consider a table the best tool to mark this up? Or at least as good
as anything else?
I'm curious because I've been so much criticized for my view on this that
I'd like to know if I'm not missing something...
Thanks.
