Audiogram, reflexes and vision results are sometimes recorded and displayed in two-column tables in clinical settings. There is an audiogram Observation archetype on CKM at Audiogram result <http://www.openehr.org/knowledge/OKM.html#showArchetype_1013.1.44> - this does not use a table structure, instead it just models the result of one ear and then allows multiples of that, tagged with 'side'. It would require the software to figure out how to tabulate this (not too hard obviously, but the point is that the data representation might be some other structure that is also logically a two-column table, so the software either has to be aware of all such possible structures, or else some kind of GUI directive like Erik suggested needs to be used. openEHR doesn't have such a thing at present).
