There's a small cognitive conflict in that the '==' markup sequence is used to mean "heading" in many wiki markups, including Creole. This includes table headings (where PmWiki currently uses ||!heading). So, I'd prefer a different markup. It also wasn't obvious until I read the recipe that the number of equals signs represented the number of rows to span.
