"Yes, table is best. CSS as great as it is, does have limitations that tables can fix. It still validates as XHTML, so theres no worries there."
it's not that css and xhtml can't "fix" something that tables can...this is an issue of correct usage.
in this case, it is correct to use a table - since the data presentation is in tabular (ie, spreadsheet) form.
valid, accessible and standards compliant markup isn't about using exculsively css/xhtml over tables, it is about using things properly.
css and xhtml don't really have limitations anymore. it is all about usage and design.
you could easily build a "table" layout in xhtml using css without actual 'table' tags...but that wouldn't really be using markup and web design properlly.
and, xhtml/css isn't limited. browsers are limited.
