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:

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.
