David,

Irrespective of the format generated by the WikiText table format the 
original html format also works well in TiddlyWiki, so it is trivial to use 
that method instead and you can use whatever standards you wish. Personally 
I find html easier to wrap the detail rows in a list widget, even the 
columns can be handled this way.

Regards
Tony
