When I open the following table in org, the characters from the first
+ symbol in +bar to the last + symbol on the next line are struck out,
i.e. drawn with a line through the text.
#+STARTUP: showall
* foo
| C | D |
| E | +bar |
|---+------|
I do not believe this is intended behavior for +strike-through+ text.
The + symbol serves triple duty in org syntax as a an indicator for
+stricken words+, a line drawing symbol in tables, and a #+keyword
prefix.
I see little reason to continue to support +strike-through+ text.
Perhaps the simplest solution would be to deprecate stricken text and
disable it by default, allowing for an option to turn it on for
backward compatibility.

I agree. If no one object, I will make this change soon.

what the reason is for removing the functionality? Is it just this, that it
(probably) isn't used much? Not a good argument in my book (especially due
to the uncertainty in usage). Would it not be better to fix the problem at
hand? Maybe by changing the symbol since + seems overloaded, would not - be
a better choice?
On a side-note, what is the intended behavior of bold, italic,
strike-through etc. regarding line-breaks? Since a single long line has the
same meaning in org as multiple consecutive short lines I think the
markup-elements above also should support multiple lines of text (but not
be valid between paragraphs)

It can also be an item which is a problem with LaTeX math.
Example:
\begin{equation}
x
+ y
wv
- z
\end{equation}
is translated to
\begin{equation}
x
\begin{itemize}
\item y
\end{itemize}
wv
\begin{itemize}
\item z
\end{itemize}
\end{equation}
I guess one could wrap it in #+begin_latex · #+end_latex, but that would
be cubersome.
