Hi James,
My understanding is that if the content is tabular data / data list in
nature then tables should be used. If your page had a dynamic element to it
- say being able to sort your product by price then the best way to mark it
up is by tables (IMO)... with JS.
Would be interesting to get

A list is the most appropriate for a list.
The fact that price list states list DOES mean a list should be used -
when you use the term list that's what the user then expects it to be.
If you don't want to use a list (for whatever pedantic reason) then don't
call it one. If you want to use a
Disagree.
Many shopping carts on the web have product lists or summarys marked up in a
table. When you look at it from the point of view where one column is the
products and the other is the price, and another is VAT per product its more
semantic to do it that way.

And the same can be said for my example where each row has data relating to

Even if it where product and price, as in my origional example, a table is
still more semantic because the data in the rows relate to the columns i.e.
product and price.

Rob,
Yeah I have now after extensive research. I have headed the table with a
caption and it uses a h3. There are various parent sections above the
table that use h2 and h1.
Cheers.

Ian and Micheal, you summed up what I was about to write. Some people got
really defensive.
My argument all along was that a list should not always be marked up as a
list as such. Take ebay for example, they even go to the extent of calling
their results 'lists'. You can see this on results pages
(a relational list) would be semantically more sound in a table.

I vote table. It's not really a list, regardless of the title you put on it.
It's a chart.
