Thanks for the explanation. Providing the mapping feature with \mapTABLEtoxtabl and \restoreTABLEfromxtable was a very good choice. Cheers Hans Hagen wrote:

I just noticed the YATM, "yet another table method", built in ConTEXt, called "extreme tables", which is said to be a variant of the natural table mechanism.
Is extreme-tables a superset of natural-tables functionality?
Is the future in extreme-tables and will natural-tables eventually take a back seat and then fade away, being surpassed in development, features and usage?
- the natural tables will stay (but frozen - you can overload them: \mapTABLEtoxtabl \restoreTABLEfromxtable - xtreme tables have more protential for extensions without sacrificing speed - xtreme tables are faster but for normal use both suit
