As Pm noted, this is possible, but it's probably not what you want: for 
example, you'll have difficulties aligning the text if the date on the 
left is just a single digit. Or if somebody has set his browser to use a 
font where the digits have different width (some fonts have a narrower 
digit 1).
You could fill each cell with a single-line two-column table. Just make 
sure the columns are wide enough to accommodate whatever you're doing to 
fill into them (i.e. set the width in terms of "em"s, which grow with 
the font size if the browser was configured with a larger font).
I'm not sure how the PmWiki layout for all this would be; it's not the 
kind of layout that I need.
