If the table was used in place of a list, it would be a single column 
table. In this case a relationship is being claimed for each row, and 
no sane relationship exists there. So this is a layout table.

           5.3 Do not use tables for layout unless
           the table makes sense when linearized.

Going 1, 15, 2, 16, 3 ... does not make sense. Therefore this fails 
that checkpoint.

It also fails the lynx test very badly:
