I almost agree with Ingo. A blank line in tbl is generally equivalent to
a table line in which all fields are empty. It is also generally equivalent
to .sp 1. These interpretations differ in the presence of .blm or .ns.
By decorating every table line with an initial \&, tbl has picked the
former interpretation.
