Thanks for the link! Interesting discussions... and after reading them I'm even more convinced that a table is the right way to go. Which brings me back to the question of the caption element and whether it's well supported by assistive tech or not - I guess the only real way to know is to test it out with some screenreaders.
Cheers,
Kay.
