Craig, Yep. <table> makes sense for "show-and-forget" use pattern.
The challenge with <table> is that things become complicated when there is a need to receive and act on events on row selection/de-section, pagination, getting the entire data object out of the row etc. I tried that but discovered that I'm reinventing CellTable. At any rate, the only snag I had with CellTable is unexpected behavior with pageSize set to 0. It would be great to have better Javadoc for that, or throwing IllegalArgumentException for 0 size.
