How about converting tables into numbered lists?  

Each table would be a list of rows.  Each row would be a list of cells.
If tables nest,  you would just get nested lists.  Rows and cells would
be clearly separated,  and the numbers would identify rows and columns.

And you don't need to parse more than once.
