Maybe the first column should be <th>, or the whole table should be replaced with <dl>?

It is god to be more accurate in our HTML code, but what is the need for this?

Just trying to evaluate the relevance of the request before digging further. Thank you.

This is an enhancement request. Who mentioned need?

If there's no good usecase there's no reason to ever consider implementation, and it's hard to come up with one that might be close to that unknown usecase.

In general: Missing usecases can sometimes make bug reports INVALID in my opinion, and "Just because we can" is not a good argument.

Liangent, do you stil think this is a good idea?

If so, is this bug a good candidate for Google Code-in?

The table can be parsed easily by a machine so I am not sure what problem semantic tags would solve so cannot comment on whether that proposal makes sense. Feel free to reopen if there is a particular problem statement for this.
