Carsten,

As a follow up to Tak's response, this points to a potential bug in org-mode 
when converting tables from org-mode table to table.el table:

* Org Mode Table

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

* Org Mode Table converted to table.el table using C-c ~
+----------+----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 |
+----------+----------+
| R1 C1-2             |
+---------------------+
| R2 C1    | R2-3 C2  |
+----------+----------+
| R3 C1    |          |
+----------+----------+

The second table is a result of hitting C-c ~ on the first table. Notice there 
is no '+' at the intersection at R1 C1-2, R2 C1 and R2-3 C2

It should be:

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


Even after fixing the '+', the output is not the same as the one produced by 
table.el. Since I don't know quite how to debug in Emacs, I can only go by the 
produced output.

Table.el produces the following for the corrected table:

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

Table.el - table-generate-source (html) output:

<table border="1">
  <caption>Table</caption>
  <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top">
       Header 1 
    </td>
    <td align="center" valign="top">
       Header 2 
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top">
       R1 C1-2             
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top">
       R2 C1    
    </td>
    <td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top">
       R2-3 C2  <br />
                <br />
                
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top">
       R3 C1    
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Orgmode output:

<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
<tr><th scope="col">Header 1</th>
<th scope="col">Header 2</th></tr>
<tr><td>R1 C1-2</td></tr>
<tr><td>R2 C1<br/>R3 C1</td>
<td>R2-3 C2<br/></td></tr>
</table>


I know this is probably not a high priority issue/bug but I am posting the 
information here for completeness.

Thanks again for you all your feedback.
