I think that Michael has hit the nail on the head here -- there is a
blurry line between certain types of lists and tables. One could also
argue that a definition list is a sort of simple table (2 column? tho
DTs can have several definitions).
I would say that the nature of a table implies cross-referencing (ie.
the rows and columns interrelate to provide the correct data), and I
let this be my guide. If the columns and rows *don't* interrelate then
it's just a collection of lists.
