Chris,
Thanks for your response.  It's funny - before I went to using unordered
lists for this, I had been using ALA's recommendation.  However I wasn't
very happy with it semantically.

Ted Drake made this distinction: "With the current div setup, you have
information but there is no connection between the data."

Marc Broad also had similar thoughts: "In the div example - the code in
place for presentational hooks are rather meaningless. A div is the
Tupperware of the html world. 
Effectively it is a container to hold content."

>> In your case, the extremes argue "no tables, period" vs "tables within
>>tables within tables".

I don't agree with either position - I think tables should be used when
displaying tabular data, but definitely not overused as is the case when
using tables for presentation.

I can see the position that views a gallery page as tabular data, however I
can't see how there's justification for using tables when they create more
code weight than lists, and don't really show the association between the
picture and the description/link/information/etc. the same way lists
(whether ordered, unordered or definition) do.

Thanks,
