I just figured out that this

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results table
'((H1 H2 H3) (text11 text12 text13) (text21 text22 text23) (... ... ...)
(textN1 textN2 textN3))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| H1     | H2     | H3     |
| text11 | text12 | text13 |
| text21 | text22 | text23 |
| ...    | ...    | ...    |
| textN1 | textN2 | textN3 |

is probably a better way all around, i.e., "best practice." If any one
knows how to get the horizontal lines added in. . . .
