this is really getting childish. I thought you know css - apparently you 
dont. thats all about calculations, assigning width, height...

because the images are an array (if there is more than one) that belongs 
to the contentelement. in case there is just 1 image I wouldnt use a 
list but float it without any wrapping <img src="#" style="float:left;" />
A table is for tabular data. An array of images is no tabular data.
btw. I can achieve the whole thing without lists as well...I dont see 
why it shouldnt use a ul (or ol) though

well it does, doesnt it?

automatic approach = calculations. for that I can use PHP.
I know the width and height of the images so where is the problem?

*yawn* ... so now its already "almost" impossible

<table summary="Telephone Prefixes in Europe">
	<tr>
		<th>Country</th><th>Prefix</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Austria</td><td>+43</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Germany</td><td>+49</td>
	</tr>
	...
</table>

> Can a form be "tabular data"? - What about a calendar? 

form: no - use a fieldset
calendar: yes

Any other areas for the "correct" use of tables?

no

p.s.: this discussion is making me tired as there is nothing added from 
you guys. Its just about proving me wrong...that might be quite funny 
but doesnt bring us any further to the goal. With "goal" I mean 
semantical correct data the gets output at the end. If you want to use 
tables, go for it, make your TS Setup and so on. I (and Christopher who 
had the original idea of using a list) showed you a way without the 
tables and no <div> used at all.
It works in _all_ current browsers (so far) - so where is your problem?
