Coming from InDesign, it does not seem so hacky to me. That’s how InDesign handles tables.
Extending Paragraph has its own set of issues. A paragraph is expected to have a TextBlock which represents the text as the children within the paragraph. That does not work well with cells. If the table is a child f the paragraph, that should not be a problem. There’s actually an advantage to have table be a child of a paragraph. It could theoretically be composed inline to text on the same line as other span text — although I’m not planning on doing that at this point.
