 The key details are:

These both increase the clarity considerably. Someonoe who jsut wants to 
edit the data can skip the header line, no matter how ugly and 
comlicated it may be. 
That also decreases the usefulness considerably.  One *cell* per line?  You couldn't
organize data in columns--you couldn't have a piece of information with an explanation
immediately beside it of what the information is, the way we have on the U.S. Presidents
pages, the countries pages, the various tree of life pages....  You must have meant two,
at least?
