Tableless layout

I really try to reduce tables in my html page; especially, nesting tables.
But, when I try to implement it, there are a lot of challenge, like
browser bugs or no way to do that.

For example, I have a simple table layout like that :
.............

Name :	Alex
Phone :	555 1234

............
I would like to have the first column right alignment. I can't use fixed
width for the first column, since I may have very long label.

I would like to find out what is the equivalent html code for the above
sample. Remember, this layout can be in the middle of page or end of page.
