Thanks. Well, this isn't what I would call `nested tables', because
they are defined serially. hdtbl really supports nesting like this:
.TBL cols=2
. TR
.TD
. nop 1*1
.TD
. nop 1*2

1 HTML support (would probably require changes to the groff wrapper
to pass a command-line option to tbl for -Thtml)
It seems that the hdtbl macros are much easier to adapt to generate
proper HTML. BTW, I've

I've always wanted a tbl column modifier that indicated that the table
should be extended to the current document column width and any extra
width allocated to the modified tbl column. This would make it easy

Anyway, it's kind of surprising that there's no pointsize global
