I would suggest simply writing the data into an html table. Tables,
when used correctly, present information in an organized and easily
understood manner that most users will be comfortable using. I don't
believe CSS was ever intended to replace tables, but rather to give us a
way to present information without mis-using tables. Using CSS to style
your presentation, which you have done well with this site, allows you
to put just the tabular data in tables.

Fwiw,
