<table> canot do this:

<dl>
<dt>computer</dt>
<dd>An electronic device for information processing.</dd>
<dt>driver</dt>
<dd>A computer program taking care of direct communication with a peripherial 
device.</dd>
<dd>A person who drives a vehicle.</dd>
</dl>

How would you represent this in a <table> without abusing the very idea of 
columns?
