Yet Another Divs vs Tables issue: Forms

Question

[Meta-note:] I was browsing the question page, getting really tired of \"DIVS vs Tables\" \"When to use tables vs DIVS\" \"Are Divs better than Tables\" \"Tables versus CSS\

Answer 1

I was thinking of something like:

    Name:  

    Social Security Number:  

which, if the right column is fixed-length, aligns OK with variable text length, but I wonder what are the disadvantages of this method?
