But that's not what you _really_ have it, is it? It would be poor design to
put a checkbox after its label, since everyone and his brother puts them in
the other order. And you still have two empty cells, which make the table
layout more difficult.

Why _should_ a comment be placed far away from the field that it relates to,
just to align it vertically with other comments? It surely relates to the
field, not the other comments. (If not, then why is it there?)

Anyway, you could simply make the first two rows a single table, followed by
the textarea (preceded by its label) and the buttons, though the "Delete"
button looks suspiciously like the destruction button ("reset button").
There's no apparent reason for making the entire contents of the form a
single table. You can use e.g. some special background color for the entire
form to indicate that its parts belong together logically.
