The comma-delimited idea wasn't a bad one, but I would use
tab-delimited instead since there might be commas in the data, but not
likely any tabs in it.
It's not totally unreasonable to use a flat-file instead of a more
complicated database. Store the data in a separate, tab-delimited file
and use a script to format the data into html to be included at request
time. SSIs don't have to be .inc files. You can include the output of a
CGI script, including passing query string parameters to it, to
dynamically construct the resulting html page, just like it was a
regular database.
