Michel and Dr.Dang both commented that it is easier to author/edit
tables as HTML than as aligned text.
I am not sure I personally agree with this, but assuming that it is
true for some significant part of the authorship, then I would like
to add:
In my original post I stated my belief that the needs of the
_reader_ come before the needs of the _writer_. I don't agree that
the needs of one author outweigh the needs of five hundred, ten, or
even just two readers. The writer may well be inconvenienced once
by having to align text into a table, but the *readers* are in
inconvenienced n many times by having to read tables of HTML.
I presume that the readers will be reading the
entire document in html, via a viewer that renders
html into a more pleasing format.
