It's not just an ordered list! It's also a database!

But seriously, you can play that game forever. At some point, you have to pick one definition and stick with it. This site uses tables.

That's just it though, it doesn't. It simply uses tables to display the list, when it doesn't have to.

Not worth arguing over in all but the lowest levels though.
