Those are not different encodings of the same data.  For example, 2)
cannot be encoded as 1).

I'm +0 on the fancy names: 'HTML Tables mode' describes what I'm
personally interested in describing: the current HTML tables mode.  The
other ways of writing functional tests that you enumerate above (1,2,3,4)
might be useful, but they're new stuff, not just different encodings of
what can currently be done with FIT-style HTML tables as they exist now
(at least, 2 and 4 are -- not sure exactly what you mean by "wiki table").
