Nested tables remain tables whereas sub tables indicated by the isSubtable="true" attribute are a very special encoding
of horizontal and vertical merging.
In fact the isSubtable="true" attribute introduces a very special way of cell merging. The commonly used way in e.g.
HTML to achieve cell merging is to use the number-rows-spanned and number-columns-spanned attributes. Thus I proposed to
deprecate isSubtable attribute in favour of number-rows-spanned and number-columns-spanned attributes
I'll try to give an illustrative example when I write the proposal.
Thanks for the feedback.
