Tables are fairly limited in ReST because it's designed to work
reasonably well in both raw and rendered form.

One of my goals is to keep the docs readable as plaintext, which is
why I have the guidelines for maintaining an 80 column width and for
using the callout link syntax rather than the inline link syntax. The
differences are quite noticeable:

[1] http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Wiki20/Page2?action=raw
[2] 
http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/RoughDocs/FormValidationWithSchemas?action=raw&rev=5

I usually do the callouts while the docs are still unofficial and wrap
them when I mark them official. I also don't do most of my heavy edits
in browser, I copy the entire article into vim and do the edits there.
In the case of tables, that's my recommended solution.
