I don't think so, but you could create a trivial subclass of t:dataTable called t:newspaperTable, and change the renderer. Then you'd inherit all of the non-rendering behavior of t:dataTable.
As I said, this is just a workaround until someone did the work to combine the two rendering classes properly. But it seems like doing so might provide a partial quick-fix.
