Yes, a list would be far better idea than a table.

It would make a lot of sense. Even if you don't use listitems for tabs, a =
title
for a listitem may serve as a "summary"?

At the moment, when I need a title-like structure I use <formalpara> (whic=
h
comes with its own sort of restrictions). Using just a <title> inside a
<listitem> would make things easier. Additionally, it may help in situatio=
ns
with <xref/> where you want to reference the listitem.

The only thing that may be a bit awkward would be a <variablelist> and <te=
rm>
(which sort of acts already as a form of a title).
