For what its worth, I have hacked in a perl wiki a table syntax 
that looks like:

T---------T-------------T---------------T
Row one cell 1
Row one cell1
         Row one cell 2
         Row one cell 2
                Row one cell 3

Row two cell 1
         Row two cell 2
               Row two cell 3 
T-------------------------------

Explanation follows

Mark out a 3 column table with :

T-------T----------T----------------T

The length of the dashes indicates the relative size of the column. 
This makes adjusting the size of columns in the table very easy.

Each row is separated by a blank line.
The text in a cell starts at the same level of indentation.
Start a new cell by changing the indentation.

End the table with a T followed by some number of dashes.
