Given the paucity of ETS editors, viewers, enabled browsers however, I'm afraid that I will insist on keeping my horse, at least until there is more than two roads in town. My horse will eat hay. And who knows where the next gas station is.

I can see merit in having MD understand elastic tab stops as part of it's goal toward minimalist markup. It certainly would make simple tables easy to do.
