I generalized this a little into a concept I call thinArray.
which looks like this (you should display this in a fixed-width font,
and no wrap):
Refers to the diagram at the end:
This is just a string repreesntation of a List with some special
content:
the first character denotes the field separator
the first list element (after the field-separator) denotes the number
of columns (c) in this grid
the next c elements denote the column names (essentialy the first, or
header row, of our grid)
the next n elements (in groups of c columns) represent the rows of
our grid.
I wrote some CFC's to handle serialization/deserialization of cf
queries and arrays to thin arrays.
Rob Rohan wrote some js code to do the equivalent, and to manipulate
the js array.
This is all open source -- part of Rob's Neuromancer package, available
at:

Requires a modern browser (Mozilla, Firefox (and I think IE 6)).
