I agree, the form API should never be used for output. Unfortunately 
there isn't a good themeable function in core for label/value data.

All of my sematic-HTML-preaching friends recomend a definition list [1] 
for this.

We would need a basic style in drupal.css. I suggest this be making <dt> 
bold and <dd> unindented to match the visual styling of theme_form_item().
