Yes, I was need to set the height and width of cells as well as turn on and off top/bottom, left/right cell frames. Is this functionality covered in extreme tables? When you write "certain rows and colums" do you mean certain settings for rows and columns? If some functions are missing, I assume that they will be added in the future. Is this assumption correct?

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

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
