This may be a digression on tables and ascii.

The problem with drawing ascii tables is there's inevitably a cell which 
has contents that are too long and that when rendered will fold to a second 
line. Also drawing pipes "|" is a pain.  But a markup could have a table 
mode where 
white space (double spaces, double line entry) are used for delimiters.

Then you could have:

.table
I am the egg    We all live    Imagine all 
drop man        with a yellow  the tribbles
                baboon

Yesterday, tic  Hey Dude,      Feed the
tac toe was     don't make     squirrels
                a mess
.endtable

where it was easy to keep things aligned and still readable as ASCII.
