I had thought of using radio tables to splice in the table details while putting some nice handiwork around the table column headers (for example, having a column header span multiple columns in the final draft(s) of a doc). Is there an alternative approach you'd recommend? I understand the notion is to avoid "infecting" org-mode docs overly much with the details of different export targets; at the same time, as a doc moves to final draft at times such things appear unavoiding to get the desired layout.
