Wikipedia:Table: namespace and editor

An alternative table editor. Mock-up examples below.

User: Omegatron proposes that a new table editor should be written and that tables should be moved to their own Table: namespace, to keep the article wiki markup clean (you would type [[Table:World population|left]], like image markup, instead of putting the entire table inline).

This would make editing easier for the vast majority of people who don't understand code (either HTML or pipe syntax, which is really just a shortcut for HTML), in the spirit of the "easy to edit" wiki philosophy. If you like the idea, help flesh it out in the comments section, or code it, since I don't know how.
