I'm definately agreed that you want the lines sometimes - they work well on the
Spotlight pages, but not so well on my shopping pages? Or maybe if it's all

You don't 'hafta' do anything :) Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead! Once most of
the data is in there, then it can either be parsed into a database, or the
lines and tables can be tweaked to make it more pretty?
