I just did that (and fixing a bug with the :org-untouchable property not
being removed in certain circumstances which you might want to commit to
master upfront).  It looks much cleaner, see if you like it, too.  I've
also cleaned up all the commit messages, I hope they conform to the
standard now.

That I will have to think over a bit.  This support depends on parsing
the table into a list (AFAIK) and that currently treats cross headings
as another sort of hlines.  Changing this has a lot of repercussions
elsewhere in the code as far as I can see.  It might be an opportunity
to re-factor some of the code that still works on the text
representation, but that is certainly not something that I'd take
lightly.
