Trying to do tricks with divs and lists when presenting tabular data is
like replacing a fuse with an iron bolt. May work but go ahead and try
and see what happens.

I would say more like replacing a fuse with a peice of string. A fuse and a
peice of string are designed for totally different purposes.

I don't think so Ari! One can perfectly well present all manner of
tabular data in non *HTML table* form.

And when one narrows the browser canvas (try it) the "table" is no longer a
table.

Tables don't wrap rows. Richard's approach does.

When trying to read my bus timetable I would much rather have a horizontal
scroll bar (if required) than wrapped rows.


That's only because I don't expect people to have 100px wide screens.
I should have that fixed in the next version.
