Most of the enhancements in v4.0 are related to inclusions. Therefore the answer is yes: The table editing commands of XXE v4.0 allow to edit tables containing included elements. This was not the case with XXE v3 which used to gray out all the table editing commands in such case. I'm really sorry but it is very difficult for me to help you making the following macro work. Writing complex macros such as the following one is definitely not recommended. Now, I wonder why your CALS table is called "Table" and not "table" (no matter the namespace). If your table element were called "table" and "Table", you could have used the CALS table editor rather than the generic table editor. The CALS table editor automatically inserts colspec elements *when* *needed* *to* (for example, when a cell spans several columns).
