My thought is that it should be tabular data. It is true that the table
includes form controls. However, there are relationships between rows,
columns, and cells that go beyond formatting.

I keep thinking that somehow I must have encoded something incorrectly,
but so far cannot find it.

Is this a case where CSS may solve the problem - or should it be tabular
data?

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" value="checkbox"
id="box1">Name1
Surname1Contact details1

using float:left on each element.

great example of css forms -

Im unsure how accessible the address tag is as part of the details
inside a form, but maybe that issue exists anyway?
