Accessibility of federal statistical tables

Hello:

     I decided to check the accessibility of federal statistical tables.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the format used in, as just one example,
Per capita income table (ESBR) 
http://www.bea.doc.gov/briefrm/tables/ebr5.htm? 
Any comments?
Note: As noted before, I am using JFW 3.31 and don't have the latest table handling commands so I can't comment on whether tables like this one can be traversed cell by cell.  
It seems to be fairly accessible assuming I am interpreting the table correctly.  Apparently the first column is per capita income for the year 1999, then there are columns from Jun to Nov 2000.  If I count columns, I can figure out what column a given dollar amount falls under.

Just curious,

-Steve
