I have considered this myself. Its almost tabular data really - th and td - in some respects more so than a definition list.
I have built my own cms over the years which outputs similar data - these days i just use :
<p><strong>Title</strong> data</p>
I do not think a standard ordered, or unordered, list qualifies, and I do not think a definition list qualifies either, but I am loathe to use a table for 4 lines of user related login data....

Thanks Ian,
Thanks for your reply!
I just felt that a definition list was intended to define terms. For example:
<h2>JAWS (X)HTML interpretations<h2>
<dl>
<dt> <em> (Emphasis) </dt>
<dd>JAWS will use pitch and tone to emphasise the words contained within the <em> element</dd>
<dl> <strong> (Strong Emphasis) </dt>
<dd>JAWS will use pitch and tone to STRONGLY emphasise the words contained within the <strong> element</dd>
</dl>
However, in my case, I just felt that "100 223 578" does not define "Customer Identification Number (CID)". When I see "Customer Identification Number (CID)", I would expect to see the <dd> to be something like "The unique identification number assigned to a every customer to ensure the system only accesses the appropriate users data".
So am I wrong in my thinking about definitions lists?? Can a random bunch of digits such as "100 223 578" really be a definition that means Customer Identification Number?? If someone can qualify these questions, then I guess I will be convinced that this is the most semantic way to solve my problem.
