I didn't say not to use these elements. I just didn't go into the 
details of how to mark up a table because that's not on-topic for this 
list. If someone wants those details, I've written a pretty extensive 
article about it:

I think Jeralyn has gotten the point that table markup is appropriate 
here. Jeralyn, if you need more info about the markup, please see 
another list. If you want to know how to style the markup once you have 
it written, please post that here.
