I'm not sure I understand exactly what this does.  Is this simply enabling
WikiStyles within the <table> tag?

An upcoming version of pmwiki.php will likely make it possible for this to 
be added as a local customization rather than requiring a specific 
modification to pmwiki.php.  I prefer to add features as local customizations
as possible, as it preserves and extends a lot of PmWiki's flexibility.

Thanks for the contributions!
