Could be, I suppose. I tend to dislike tables because they can be hard
work for the screen reader user.

I'm hoping for a solution that allows a simple, top to bottom reading
that communicates sense.

For now I have the two Federal citations in a li element, so they should
display bulleted, with our comments following in an aside element.

i have no idea how that looks to the visual reader, though.
