This looks very ugly in my browser as the answers are shiftet to the right, 
how about instead simply using either:
<p>
 <b>Q: blah</b><br>
 A: blub
</p>

or:
<tr class=q>
 <td>Q: </td><td>blah<td>
</tr>
<tr class=a>
 <td>A: </td><td>blub<td>
</tr>

Where probably the first one will look worse than the second, but has less 
code overhead.

Another possibility would be using ordered or unordered list (probably ordered 
is god idea so we can refer quickly to it - "FAQ Entry #7"):

<ol>
 <li>
  <b>Q: blub</b><br>
  A: blah
 </li>
 <li>
  <b>Q: watt nu?</b><br>
  kA
 </li>
</ol>
