Yeah, IIRC the OP was trying to use tables as a workaround for
enforcing layout due to a backend limitation.  But asciidoc shouldn't
be enforcing layout anyway.  I guess they will have to beat up the
backend to fix its problem, try another workaround (though I don't
know what) or accept an alternative layout.
