Yeah, all the web-x.x purist loves their CSS for doing tables.

How about figuring out a simple way to highlight, and copy a table to a spreadsheet in one easy step.

Tables are for tabular data. And there's nothing wrong in using tables in such occasions.

Though in the future spreadsheet applications should be able to parse the CSS of the data that is copied into them and determine if the table is being simulated by divs with CSS properties like display: table, display: table-row etc and process the data accordingly.

HTML copies fine into a spreadsheet, doesn't matter about the CSS

right click ->paste special->html

should copy it into a sortable format for you?
