Helps, but it doesn't address the actual problem: there's a jolly wide 
gap between the link and the explanatory text.

Maybe something that inserts a dotted line between every two entries... 
or alternating background colors. (Not sure whether any of these 
actually work with XHTML.)
One thing I once was mentioned was a sequence of dots that fill the gap 
between left and right part, as is often done in printed directories, like
   Title 1 ............... 3
     Subtitle 1.1 ........ 4
     Subtitle 1.2 ........ 7
   Title 2 .............. 20
IIRC this can be done with CSS, but I have forgotten all the details 
(including where I found it, alas).
