or, failing that, take a look into revamping the existing series of documentation pages we have on enwiki for all matters table-related.

I think the problem is that MediaWiki table syntax isn't that much simpler than HTML table syntax, it just involves less characters.
A nice JavaScript addon that does a table wizard would probably be popular and might even make it into the base "gadgets" collection.
