It mentioned including meta information. I'm not sure that I really
care if I get it but we may want it in general, if not now then later,
and it would be something that would be extremely hard to retrofit. If
we start out with just the table and perhaps the border setting we can
always add more later if we find we need it. If we don't start with
something then adding an extra line later will cause all sorts of
heartache.
