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.
