This sounds good to me.


I'd like to take this opportunity to once more float the idea of having two
types of "tables" in wikitext:

* "grids" used for layout, that can be nested, and may be rendered as html
tables but would better be rendered using divs with appropriate styles.

* actual data tables, which can not contain block elements in their cells (and
can not be nested), for actual tabular data.

i think this would make for cleaner wiki text and for cleaner html output.
