One example that comes to mind where we use a table to format non-tabular
data is where we create a shaded area on the page with rounded corners that
needs to expand/collapse dynamically based on the amount of text it
contains.
I have manipulated the XEPOUT to remove table structure on documents that I
know can be removed, usually documents that contain just a single table. I
know that I could flag tables as I suggested, but then that setting would
have to be copied down to a block element in each cell in order to be able
to identify elements in the XEPOUT which need to have the table structure
removed. All this is possible, I know, but a task that becomes much more
difficult if you need to allow for nested tables where you want to remove
the structure of the outer table, but not the inner table.
I just thought this would be something that could be handled easier in XEP
prior to creating the XEPOUT.
