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

Sorry Rob, I think you've got the wrong idea. This is relating to a post
Thierry made about tabular data.
The example of contents tables was specifically cited as being 'instance
of tables in print'. I was by no means suggesting we take this to the
web - Thierry's example uses the same format (which is the key matter)
but relates to positions occupied within a company in one column and the
names of the holders in the second.
Remembering that we're discussing Thierry's example, a definition list
would have been appropriate. Besides, I was specifically stating that
the markup for definition lists could be avoided and the same layout
produced with a table and CSS (td{display:block} + niceties).
Regards,
Barney
