It's a good question. Text browsers will generally do better with
simplified markup. For example, lynx works much better with the
dt/dd-based markup proposed here:

than the current nested-table approach.

So, when I say "rely more on CSS", I mean rely more on CSS for
*styling* and leave the semantics to HTML.
