One problem is that in some languages, org tables are converted into a matrix-like data structure, not simply a list-of-lists. An example is R (and I think also gnuplot). So in those languages, all rows must be the same length. Also, I believe that hlines are ignored when computing indexes in Org table formulas, so I thought that omitting hlines would make indexing in babel languages more consistent with indexing in org.
