Tables need to be addressed, and next up is a survey of the uses of 
tables. If we can get away with "<table border=1>" that would be nice, 
but that will default to no padding for the cells, which is ugly. We may 
need to change the stylesheet but I am wary of changing the default 
style for all tables in the main javadoc tool stylesheet.

We will investigate the options.

If anyone wants to volunteer to clean up tables (borders, summary, 
caption, padding, etc) in javadoc comments that they look after, that 
would be most helpful ;-)
