Thierry and all, I am interested in the excellent and well thought out work you have done with lists here. Intriguing! However (and it's a serious question), in what way do you think that using lists is 'better' than using a simple 2 or 3 -celled table (+ a bit of CSS to style it, naturally)

Tim, a definition list is called for. You can set it to be numbered in the CSS. You could also use headings and paragraphs (semantically it is the same as we have a set of name-value pairs). You could also use a two column table (name-value pairs). cheers Paul Paul MInty Director mintleaf
