Add a built in table parser
A built in table parser would allow that the data be defined in a table in the HTML page. If JavaScript is disabled in the browser, the table will still show.

Now even documented: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#data

We have the data module, but it has been considered experimental, but that's about to change.

Waaaaaaait a minute. I see http://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-parsed, but where is the API for this?

This is, I think, really a two part request. The first part is to define an API for how tables should be structured and classed, and the second part is to provide the plugin that parses that structure. See http://jsfiddle.net/jhfrench/3v1omgyj/ for a working example, and see http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/update-to-jquery-visualize-accessible-charts-with-html5-from-designing-with.html for an excellent explanation for what we're trying to accomplish.

It would be really great if a table parser or a table parser plugin could be built. This would be very useful if using High charts in a CMS and would want Authors to plot a chart from a table.

This would be a great plugin.
If this table parser/plugin could have parameters/settings that can be set, like - Hide or hide the data table, parse table series in rows or columns, what row or column the data series starts and ends, etc
