Hi Anne, One of the problems with tableaux is that almost every possible variation of any definition is used by some one. With this in mind we probably should implement variations whenever possible. I don't know anything about the history of this particular method (git blame might help), but I suspect that some one just copied the code from tableaux to skew tableaux. I certainly have no objection either way as I don't use this method.
