I uploaded a new beta. The biggest new thing is that there is yet another table mechanism: extreme tables.
Extreme tables - be careful, leave yourself some room for the next iteration; you might run out of superlatives. What will be next: supermongous tables? monster tables? awesome tables? :-)
Well, I needed a temporary name for the commands so I ended up with \startxtable and didn't want to change the namespace and macro names etc so the x became eXtreme. A next table mechanism will use a different character so then I have to make up something, like \startwtable which will then become 'weird tables' or so. Maybe I'll make you a \starttabularasa ... \stoptabularasa ... the ultimate minimalistic table mechanism, implemented as ... \unexpanded\def\starttabularasa#1\stoptabularasa{} \let\stoptabularasa\relax ... which is then also the smallest module. Concerning the xml ... I'll probably redo cals tables in this mechanism and maybe even provide a bTABLE -> xtable mapping (btu I'm not sure about that one).
