Yes, XML can help load HTML tables. As we knew, tables in Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://www.bls.gov/) can be displayed in HTML and can also be loaded directly using their urls, for example, ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/time.series/wp/ I was wondering if tables in Statist Canada have such locations so that we load them directly. Thanks,
