For some reason, I haven't been able to get table.el to work properly during 
the org-mode publish operation.

Carsten had mentioned that this functionality had been fixed in the 6.36x 
builds but I still haven't been able to get it to work. I would like to see a 
work example, if you have one.

Here is my sample file:

---- begin snip

* sample table

+ ------+--------+
+-------+--------+
|       | file   |
+-------+--------+
+ ------+--------+
|       |  file  |
+ ------+        |
|  test |  test  |
+ ------+--------+
* Org mode table

| Header 1 | Header 2 |
|----------+----------|
| R1 C1    | R1 C2    |
| R2 C1    | R2 C2    |
| R3 C1    | R3 C2    |

* table.el table

Following table has 1 multi column cell and 1 multi row cell.

+----------+----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 |
+----------+----------+
| R1 C1-2             |
+---------------------+
| R2 C1    | R2-3 C2  |
+----------+----------+
| R3 C1    |          |
+----------+----------+


--- end snip
