[TYPO3] FE template for a plugin

Hi all,

I need a way to template the output of my plugin. The weird thing is 
that I need a way to map a multidimensional array of data (2 dimensions) 
to FE view.

Now I hard coded a table that may be styled with CSS but I would like to 
get a bit further to let the user map the NxM data matrix to divs for 
instance or event something more complex such as

data:

row1_1, row1_2, row1_3
row2_1, row2_2, row2_3

output:

<div class="something">
   <table>
     <tr>
       <td>row1_1</td>
       <td>row1_2</td>
       <td>row1_3</td>
     </tr>
   </table>
</div>
<div class="something">
   <table>
     <tr>
       <td>row2_1</td>
       <td>row2_2</td>
       <td>row2_3</td>
     </tr>
   </table>
</div>

I think FCE with sections would be the way to go and it would mean the 
user would have to create a FCE with proper bidimensional SO/CO stuff 
and then assign it as rendering option to the plugin.

What do you think?

Does someone has experience in dynamically creating FCE? (there already 
was such a post a few days ago but it is perhaps not the way to go or it 
is perhaps best "instantiated" here).
