I just cut-and-pasted a table from the IETF RTP RFC into orgmode as follows:

* QUOTE RTP Header Format
   0                   1                   2                   3
   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

The orgmode markup rules make this a bit of a mess.  Actually, at least 
the content is undisturbed here, but I've seen worse -- for example, an 
otherwise well formatted table in which the columns have phone numbers 
with country codes starting with '+'.  This leads to strikeout marks 
that actually strike through the cell contents!

So, would it make sense to turn off in-buffer markup under headings 
marked with the QUOTE keyword? Of course, prefixing every line with ':' 
has the desired effect, so there is an existing work-around, but 
requiring the prefix seems to make 'QUOTE' not very powerful/useful.

(I can't find 'QUOTE' in the documentation now, so maybe this feature 
has been deprecated?  But, #+BEGIN/END_EXAMPLE has the same problem.)
