Yes I have looked at ReST and have the libraries needed for it. The
problem is that we do a lot of data analysis here at my company so we
use tables a lot and we want to be able to do "round trip" with Excel if
needed and only the CSV plugin gives us that since it can support
copy/paste of tab-delimited text (plus FFX TableTools plugin helps a ton
too). Our original plan was just not to use tables in Trac/wiki and use
Excel instead but they are so useful to us that people have been doing
it anyway and as the tables can be huge and occur frequently enough I'm
trying to find ways to make manipulating them easier.

I am going to modify the CSV macro to print table headers automatically,
I think. The code is quite small and easy to deal with.

I really wish Trac had section editing though as some of our pages are
getting larger when these tables go in.

Trac also supports reStructuredText which has a more powerful table
syntax you can use:
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiRestructuredText#BiggerReSTExample

Be sure to look at the top of that Wiki page to get the required
library before trying to use reStructuredText in Trac.
