One problem is that editors (who write the templates)
can write table
markup, but can't write CSS. So (a) all CSS would need to be
prewritten (b) it'd need to be loaded on all pages in the wiki. This
is a constraint in MediaWiki itself.
This would basically mean re-writing the parser so that it takes the
tablecode and figures out how to translate it into CSS? Hmm.
It looks (he said loftily and without any real knowledge) workable
enough from the code snippets there, but how well would it handle some
of the more complex tables? After all, we'd have to do all-or-nothing
for all our tables...
