I think we never had this feature had we? Anyway I had a quit look at the
patch (I´m in vacation right now so I just had a look at the patchfile) and
here are my comments. And BTW. what does H exactly and how is the exact
format you use it in a table header? (as I told you I´m on vacation so
i cannot have a look at my latex books!)

Why use this if it just gives problems? What do we gain with this?
I would say "no" to this part in this type of implementation.

Why do you added this tags? Just set your paragraph alignment correctly
in a cell with a set width and display and output will be correct!

All patches are usefull althought we won´t include all of them in a given
time. As for now we are in a sort of codefreeze so new feature won´t be
added to the code until 1.2.0 is out you´re free to have your own modified
version and submit a patch after the 1.2.0 release so we can add new
features again.

You just didn´t use the paragraph layout which you should use for this
type of stuff. I understand that it would maybe be better to have this
as a general option also in the tabular layout but for now it isn´t there
we can add this later but in a clean way without the need to duplicate
code.

Don´t worry we don´t check this too we normaly give more work to José by
changes to the code, but he likes coding so he´s always happy if he can
add new stuff, isn´t it #:O)

Well I´m not used to insult people (if it´s not friday ;) so I hope you´ll
forgive me for this #:O)
