Oh, definitely.  That was in my plans from the start.  Having seen what
w3m does to slashdot, for example, it's now a fundamental requirement.

There is also the point the table renderer above isn't going to be able
to handle "complex" tables any time soon, so there's very little point
enabling it for anything other than the simplest tables.
