Just today I relented and, in the interests of time, put up a table 
based layout for non-tabular data.

I wonder if someone has a good CSS solution for this table: Two columns, 
  the first is of images, one per row, but of varying heights, the 
second is of descriptive text of varying - but multiline - amounts which 
I wish to center vertically to the right of its image.

Here is the current page, with the table-based solution.

The vertical centering, non-table, CSS based solutions I've seen require 
nesting of semantically meaningless divs, e.g. 
http://www.badboy.ro/articles/2005-02-20/vertical_align_with_css/, which 
I'd rather avoid.

Is there a good solution that works cross browser *without resorting to 
semantically meaningless nested divs* ?

P.S.  My example page now has images all the same height, but that is 
temporary.
