I'm marking up an FAQ for an XHTML 1.1/CSS Web page. What is the best way
to mark up the questions and answers so it will be semantically correct
and standards compliant?

Right now, the FAQ is in a table-based format using a numbered list.


If you don't need them numbered, I'd suggest DL:

        <dl>
                <dt>Question</dt>
                <dd>Answer</dd>

                <dt>Question</dt>
                <dd>Answer</dd>
                <dd>Answer</dd>
(or:)
                <dt>Question</dt>
                <dd>
                        <p>Answer</p>
                        <p>Answer</p>
                </dd>
                ...
        </dd>

If you need the items auto-numbered, I'd go OL:

        <ol>
                <li>Question
                        <p>Answer</p>
                </li>

                <li>Question
                        <p>Answer</p>
                        <p>Answer</p>
                </li>
                ...
        </ol>
