I got most of it by changing this:

dl.tabular dt {
	float:left;
	clear:left;/****delete this****/
	padding: 0.5em 0;
	width:17%;
	margin: 0;
}
But there's still some residual flakiness. That sure looks like tabular 
data to me, though--I'd consider putting it in a table (gasp!) rather 
than trying to make a definition list work.

For what that's worth.
