I don't see this as being a definition list. 39 does not define Chapter 1,
it is an indicator of where to find chapter 1. It is arguably a table, as in
table of contents. Of course it is all a bit of an odd case considering the
web. Web pages aren't paper, and trying to replicate the behaviour of books
via a screen can in *many* circumstances seem a little perverse

The presentation seems unusual as does the term 'table' (possibly
because there's only two values per row). But the most common instance
of tables in print is the table of contents, which is exactly like this.
Try arguing that isn't a table.
Introduction..............1
Chapter 1................39
Chapter 2................56
As for the 'it could just as well be a definition list' thing, I'm in
agreement but it doesn't cause me headaches anymore. From a practical
level, dd{display:table} doesn't work very well, whereas
td{display:block} is bulletproof. So in any case where something could
be construed as a table, I'd say go with those tags and use CSS if you
decide the info isn't being displayed clearly.
