Sorry, can't provide any data. I was just browsing kalzium and for all I know, percentages should add upp to 100%, especially mercury falls quite short.

I'd suggest to round the available percentages to one significant digit (instead of 5 digits for some elements). If there are isotopes whose percentages are less than 0.1, indicate this by using "< 0.1%" (as e.g. done in statistical software packages if they can't determine a more accurate value).

I wouldn't expect anyone to object if some percentages are rounded or just chopped of. in my eyes, it's more obvious if the overall count doesn't sum up to 100% than that the percentage of isotope XY is actually 34.335 instead of 34.3 ...
