Takeaways:

A table formatting object tree can start with a "table" or "table-and-caption" formatting object.
"table" can have optional "table-header" and/or "table-footer" before "table-body".
If you want to control column widths and/or column borders, and can add a "table-column" list inside "table".
Cell merge or span is controlled by "table-cell[@number-columns-spanned]" and "table-cell[@number-rows-spanned]".
