We (SoftQuad) have a content model for this that's in the public domain,
and has also been published as an ISO standard. HoTMetaL uses it. It's
actually a superset of the NCSA Mosaic tables, except that the overall
table border attribute isn't supported by HoTMetaL (we may add it).
This DTD fragment can be converted to Braille automatically.
You can specify spanned entries (horizontal & vertical), row & column
separaters (solid bar, double bar, none, space, etc), and column/cell
justification (left/right/centre) and row/cell justification (top/middle/
bottom).
You can also specify relative column widths.
