While i agree this looks nicer I wonder what it does to things like
excel/gnumeric/ooffice auto-recognizing table layouts and importing
files. I'm not sure our old format was so great for this so maybe this
is actually an improvement I'm asking for. But as long as we're
changing the format... It would at at least be good to test the
behaviour
