The tables also lose information on where the order of elements is
mandated by the XSD. There's no room for more columns to describe it.
If extra effort (like side notes) are needed to accomodate a table, that
makes the table less attractive (to me). OTOH maybe the "required" column
could be turned into "notes" or some such thing, with there being notes
to indicate "required" or "optional" or "ordered."
There are many problems with tables.
* The markdown syntax mandates that one row is on a single line, that
makes it a bit cumbersome to edit if you have a lot of content.
* Lack of control over formatting, especially column widths.
* Lack of horizontal space.
That is a markdown limitation. Xml2rfc allows much the same attributes as html
(rowspan, colspan, ...) An attempt at it failed, see e.g.
https://github.com/mmarkdown/mmark/pull/153
Would a new issue to signal our wish for better tables be fair?
Best
