But what you are describing is not the same behavior
as 1). MediaWiki
processes html and wikitext tables separately, and to mee it seems
highly unintentional that the inner tokens can be used interchangeably
and this only happens if both types of tables are nested with each
other. But you are here proposing yet another option, which I believe
is a lot simpler to implement:
4. There is only one type of table, but the tokens have aliases.
I think that it used to be the case, and was later changed to only work
with its own type, but couldn't find that.
