Mozilla offers at least some support, as does Opera. I've not
extensively tested this, but the code example I gave earlier
transforms a list into a single row table in Mozilla and Opera:

ul {
  display: table;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  padding: 0;
  border: 1px solid black;
  border-spacing: .3em;
}

li {
  display: table-cell;
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding: .3em;
}
