Well, in this case table is used for layout.
If that doesn't do it, I see no other way.. Using span's or div's is

..-------.-----------.-----------------------------------------------.
| desc2 | desc3 | etc |

| data | <table><tr><td>data</td><td>data</td></tr></table> | data |
`-------'----------------------------------------------------'------'
vs.

| desc2 | desc3 | etc |

| data | <span>data</span><span>data</span> | data |
