One MAJOR problem with using background images for the flag buttons is the fact that each entry could carry any one of 200+ flags. That's a WHOLE LOT of background declarations! No matter what type of more semantic structure I end up using for this I'm afraid I'll have to use image tags for the flag. Anyone else have any suggestion of what a "preferred" semantical structure "should be" for a guestbook?
Nope. A table doesn't seem far-fetched - it looks like tabular data to me... On the subject of the flags, you could make one tall (or wide) image containing all the flags, and simply change the background-position property for each entry's CSS selector. This would likely save you coding a whole bunch of IMG tags - and images... Search for "css background image sprites" for more about this technique.
