It would be really handy to have a parameter of the form :tname which puts a #+TBLNAME: into the top of the table created by a dynamic block. This makes the dynamic table easy to reference from other things. 2. It would be even better to also provide a parameter of the form :dtname which puts a #+TBLNAME: - into the top of the table where is today's date. 3. It might be handy to have orgmode provide a predefined set of standard parameters and tools for writing those at the start end of the table so all dynamic block writers can get the benefit of nifty parameters with minimal effort.
