Yes, relaxng doesn't know anything about "tables", we would have to ad 
proprietary extensions to relaxng for that (i don't say, it's a no go 
area ;) )

xhtml is well known and easy to do for a browser and yes, the browser 
just understands the concept of tables and imgs this way ,)

yeah, you can replace them.

if you use the css "display" properties for your table elements (like 
"table-cell") it should be possible to do it. the underlying 
mozile-editor does honor them (or at least should).

We could certainly do the table-editing stuff more general, there are 
some hardcoded "td/tr/table" references in the code, which should be 
replaced...
