Barney I don't see this as being a definition list. 39 does not define Chapter 1, it is an indicator of where to find chapter 1. It is arguably a table, as in table of contents. Of course it is all a bit of an odd case considering the web. Web pages aren't paper, and trying to replicate the behaviour of books via a screen can in *many* circumstances seem a little perverse

Tables always get people dancing around the room, mostly drunk. The presentation seems unusual as does the term 'table' (possibly because there's only two values per row). But the most common instance of tables in print is the table of contents, which is exactly like this. Try arguing that isn't a table. Introduction..............1 Chapter 1................39 Chapter 2................56 As for the 'it could just as well be a definition list' thing, I'm in agreement but it doesn't cause me headaches anymore. From a practical level, dd{display:table} doesn't work very well, whereas td{display:block} is bulletproof. So in any case where something could be construed as a table, I'd say go with those tags and use CSS if you decide the info isn't being displayed clearly.
