Thinking about this again, I think a better idea than my microformats suggestion would just be to suggest a specific table layout that should be used. There's some thinking going on about RDFa and semantics for tables (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa/ 2009May/0044.html) but regardless, tables would be a dead simple way for people to do this - it just needs an example, e.g. this naive one:
http://svn.foaf-project.org/foaftown/2009/expenses/example.html (I got the data from http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/ 4382424.Wyre_Forest_MP_s_expenses_published/ - http:// www.newsquestmidlands.co.uk/downloads/ks_additional_costs_allowance.pdf) Feel free to do what you want with it if it's useful.
