= Problem Statement =
Users often need to create tables using the 'advanced' functionality provided by XHTML but now unsupported by Creole 1.0 syntax. A wiki author's alternative is to drop into XHTML syntax, however XHTML markup is often not honored by wiki engines, meaning no alternative is actually available to wiki authors needing such functionality.

= Creole Requirements
XHTML table functions now unsupported by Creole 1.0 include:
# caption
# colgroup
# col
# body
# footer

= Is there interest in pursuing this syntax???
