Is this table an acceptably accessible method of marking up this information?

Hello,
I have two questions about this approach:
1/ Is this approach reasonable? I have been listening to it in IBM HPR and it seems to make good sense, and from a semantic pt of view, I think one could argue for a table (or perhaps a Definition List).

2/ If the answer to #1 is yes, is there a good way to get screen readers to pause at the end of a table row? Unless I insert a period after the "Yes" and "No" the reader races to the beginning of the next row.

Thanks for any suggestions.
