I am pleased to announce support for list-tables in the odt/xhtml
exporters. See below for some introductary note. Also refer to the
attached org/odt/html files.
Thanks for your past and future inputs.

2. Thanks to Nathan Neff for raising the topic of resumes in the context
of odt exporter
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00998.html
Discussions with him led me to understand the "two column" style of
resumes. (Visibly speaking) the Eurpass CV template linked to below is
also "pre-dominantly" a two column format save for few rows which have
multiple columns.

3. Thanks to Matt Price for passing complex table by me and registering
some use cases.

The overarching theme in all these threads is a multi-column table with
copious text where each column is variably sized.
List-tables is a humble first step in this direction. (Proportional
sizing of columns and support for grid lines is coming soon)
From the blurb:

| ;; Notes on LIST-TABLES
| ;; ====================
| ;; When `org-lparse-list-table-enable' is non-nil, the following list
| ;;
| ;; #+begin_list-table
| ;; - Row 1
| ;; - 1.1
| ;; - 1.2
| ;; - 1.3
| ;; - Row 2
| ;; - 2.1
| ;; - 2.2
| ;; - 2.3
| ;; #+end_list-table
| ;;
| ;; will be exported as though it were a table as shown below.
| ;;
| ;; | Row 1 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 |
| ;; | Row 2 | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 |
| ;;
| ;; Note that org-tables are NOT multi-line and each line is mapped to
| ;; a unique row in the exported document. So if an exported table
| ;; needs to contain a single paragraph (with copious text) it needs to
| ;; be typed up in a single line. Editing such long lines using the
| ;; table editor will be a cumbersome task. Furthermore inclusion of
| ;; multi-paragraph text in a table cell is well-nigh impossible.
| ;;
| ;; LIST-TABLEs are meant to circumvent the above problems with
| ;; org-tables.
| ;;
| ;; Note that in the example above the list items could be paragraphs
| ;; themselves and the list can be arbitrarily deep.
| ;;
| ;; Inspired by following thread:
