Thinking ahead on this one...
Is there anything special that needs to be done to handle quotes in the
data or commas in the data? The idea of using a table seems to be a great
work around for handling the potential commas and quotes in the data.
If I HAD to write something that handled the generic case (and it looks
like I will soon) I think I could simply use the text functions in xslt to
look for those characters and replace them with the correct escape
sequences.
Unless I missed something else. Have I?
Thanks
bruce

Microsoft excel will also open up an HTML file with a table in it, just as
if it were a .xls
