Discussion of tables
--------------------
The TC discussed the proposal to add anchoring attributes to tables at 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200503/msg00010.html

The TC discussed whether anchored tables would behave different than a 
table contained in a text box. No differences were found (the proposal 
mentions that OpenOffice.org requires an empty paragraph behind the 
table; the paragraph actually can be avoided by changing the order of 
the insert operation for the table and the text box and is not a 
limitation of the OpenDocument format).

Because no differences were found, the TC unanimously agreed to keep the 
specification as it is.
