Well, it doesn't get much more authoritative than the html spec... <http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/tables.html> It says "The HTML table model allows authors to arrange _data_ ... into rows and columns" I suppose one could argue that everything is data, but then there would be no need for any other html elements.
