When the files are converted into MediaWiki, more cleanup work is
needed to change those tables into the frame-with-caption style used
on the OOo wiki.
What works best for files shared outside the OOo project isn't
necessarily the same as what works best (overall) for files used
within the project... which is, obviously, the priority at OOoAuthors.

What is best is ample description of the how and why of various
methods--whether or not that we use any of them at OOoAuthors. And that
includes how to author Wiki articles, too.
It would seem that those functions that work without bugs and all are
those that would be the most reliable to use in practice. Conversely,
those functions that break easily (or are hard to maintain) should be
those to avoid using if reliability is important.
