I was thinking that PseudoPod implemented most of what might be needed, and so
why not ship that.
Its table spec looks quite simple, and perhaps sufficient.

However, in thinking about this some more, I think we need to be able to
at least specify centered column headings, and spans. This is easily
done with html and tbl.
tbl's is also pretty simple; it allows, without my looking at the
documentation, at least columns that have justification of left, center, and
the default 'alpha' which is essentially left, but I can't remember the
difference, and numeric, so the decimal points line up. You can also create
spans, and bold, etc.
I expect one can use B<> and friends within PseudoPod tables, yes?
I do think we should keep Pod as Pod; troff is something else entirely.
The other specification I'm familiar with is html, and it offers far more power
than needed.
Yeah, and one can always =begin html to do that.
Best,
