You have to think of Google like a human with accessibility issues. It only thinks in terms of the structure of the text. If you present your data as a HTML table it won't be able to work out the relative importance of one string to another. For SEO (Search Engine Optimization) purposes you *have* to use the hierarchical headers h1, h2 etc. It looks to me like it is an impossible goal to let ordinary non-technical people write an exhibit page that works *and* ranks well on Google!
