Yes, obviously we could need some more functionality. I've handed the
package back to Ian since I didn't had time to do any development on it. I
haven't talked to Ian about this yet, but I'm sure that he'd appreciate
some patches...
Anyways, I've already reported request #2 and #3 as "wish-list" bug
reports against debiandoc-sgml a few weeks ago. If you want, you could
report #1 as well (it might be good if you could make a proposal how you
would like the <table> tag to work).
Thanks,
Chris
