the reality is something like this:
PC: IE 5+, Firefox, NS 6+, OP 6+
Mac: IE 5+, Safari, Firefox

Well - you simply ignored the "no rows" option and your images are (with one
exception) almost of different width not height.
The spacing between images and text is - uuhm - ugly and there are no
captions.
The textblock and the image block don't align horizontally and vertically in
both cases.
And the funny thing is, that you are abusing another element here just to
avoid using a table.
If you think a table is semantically incorrect for displaying a number of
different images with corresponding captions, why should an unordered list
be better then?

But back to the original problem:
Do something like this using floated elements (span, div or li - whatever
you like) that will look the same in all major browsers.

If you will be able to do it using an automatic approach that will work for
any number of columns you can set via BE and for any image width, without
using manually tuned HTML and CSS for each possible layout, you might be
able to convince me.

But from my personal experience I can tell you it is almost impossible.

BTW:
What's your personal opinion about the siutations where a table might be
"semantically correct".
Can a form be "tabular data"? - What about a calendar? Any other areas for
the "correct" use of tables?

Just curious
