It's all meaningless unless you intend it to have meaning. But tables are probably easier to work with. (That may change in future, but right now I don't think any mainstream tools assume markup is semantic. And in any case, tables aren't much moreso than divs.)

> right now I don't think any mainstream tools assume markup is semantic. Depends on what you're talking about; anything that uses microformats does, for example. Tools generally can't assume that tables are semantic, because they've been so heavily abused. That's not going to change though. Perhaps the best solution is a <yes-this-is-really-a-table> element. > tables aren't much moreso than divs. Would you say that a table in a relational database isn't much more semantic than a string of bytes?
