I assumed linetables were just another try and we could forget about them (you didn’t say that), and now you’re willing to add features, I’m a bit confused.

Alright, I experimented a bit and am back with questions I couldn't
solve by looking at the source:
1. How does the parameter lines=NUMBER work? If I set it, I get very
weird page breaks in some locations and lines that are printed above
each other in other places. When I leave it out, the table isn't typeset
at all. I can't find the right parameter to have the table fill the
entire page.
don't set it then (line tables are actually able to span pages
horizontally)
2. Is it possible to get horizontal and vertical lines?
hm, currently not, but i can probably add some features

Hi all,
I need some fundamental advice from experienced users: I'm processing
xml and collecting the data in lua tables, which I want to typeset in
some sort of table or tabular format. Typesetting requirements are
fairly low, just a couple of columns that need to be nicely aligned,
with the occasional horizontal overflow that should be handled
gracefully (i.e. longer lines should be broken), and of course, the
table has to break across pages. However, the lua tables have several
thousands of entries, and I expect the final document to have around
3,000 pages. When I tried Natural Tables, I got a "TeX capacity
exceeded" error, which disappeared when I tried with a smaller part of
my document. So my question is: what is the most "inexpensive" way of
typesetting this sort of material? One of the table environments? Which
one (would xtables be better?)? Or low-level vboxes within hboxes etc.?
Or just \framed within \framed? What would you suggest for this sort of
material?
