Vince,

I just saw in a current PR (
https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-design/pull/66) we're suggesting
an empty state for tables.  You can see it here:
https://github.com/sjcox-rh/patternfly-design/blob/a3ca5e133c18302bf6791a728dbf431c80a5f9fc/pattern-library/content-views/table-view/design/design.md
