What about nested definition lists like all those found in the HTML5 spec? Would you replace them by nested tables or a bizarre organisation of cells using rowspan and colspan? And would it still be intelligible? Here are two examples: <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#tokenising> <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#tokenisation> The difference between a table and a definition list is more akin the difference between a table and a paragraph in my view. The table is mostly about data, the definition list is mostly about text. There are many cases where both could be used as effectively, but there are many others where one makes much more sense than the other.
