From OpenDocument side of things, I am inclined to cite the attached
example. See comments in the attachment.

Talking of migration to org-export.el/org-e-odt.el, indented tables pose
special challenges because a list has to be broken and continued.  It
poses *more* challenges if I add "listified headlines" to the mix.

Nicolas,

Given the above context, one enhancmenet request that I have for you is
this:

Can the org-export driver make listified headings transparent to the
backend? Currently listified headings are handled within
org-e-backend-headline through first-sibling and last sibling checks and
the backends *do know* that it is handling a headline in a special way.

If you have reservations in considering the above request, I believe
handling of indented tables will be fragmented across plain-list/item
callbacks and headline callbacks. 

Note that I am not saying that it is not doable but only that it
requires some deliberate effort and extra code.
