+  <h4>Edits and tables</h4>
 
+  <!--END dev-html--><p><i>This section is non-normative.</i></p><!--START dev-html-->
+
+  <p>The elements that form part of the table model have complicated
+  content model requirements that do not allow for the
+  <code>ins</code> and <code>del</code> elements, so indicating edits
+  to a table can be difficult.</p>
+
+  <p>To indicate that an entire row or an entire column has been added
+  or removed, the entire contents of each cell in that row or column
+  can be wrapped in <code>ins</code> or <code>del</code> elements
+  (respectively).</p>
+
+  <div class="example">
+
+   <p>Here, a table's row has been added:</p>
+
+   <pre>&lt;table>
+ &lt;thead>
+  &lt;tr> &lt;th> Game name           &lt;th> Game publisher   &lt;th> Verdict
+ &lt;tbody>
+  &lt;tr> &lt;td> Diablo 2            &lt;td> Blizzard         &lt;td> 8/10
+  &lt;tr> &lt;td> Portal              &lt;td> Valve            &lt;td> 10/10
+<strong>  &lt;tr> &lt;td> &lt;ins>Portal 2&lt;/ins> &lt;td> &lt;ins>Valve&lt;/ins> &lt;td> &lt;ins>10/10&lt;/ins></strong>
+&lt;/table></pre>
+
+   <p>Here, a a column has been removed (the time at which it was removed is given also, as is a link to the page explaining why):</p>
+
+   <pre>&lt;table>
+ &lt;thead>
+  &lt;tr> &lt;th> Game name           &lt;th> Game publisher   &lt;th> <strong>&lt;del cite="/edits/r192" datetime="2011-05-02T14:23Z">Verdict&lt;/del></strong>
+ &lt;tbody>
+  &lt;tr> &lt;td> Diablo 2            &lt;td> Blizzard         &lt;td> <strong>&lt;del cite="/edits/r192" datetime="2011-05-02T14:23Z">8/10&lt;/del></strong>
+  &lt;tr> &lt;td> Portal              &lt;td> Valve            &lt;td> <strong>&lt;del cite="/edits/r192" datetime="2011-05-02T14:23Z">10/10&lt;/del></strong>
+  &lt;tr> &lt;td> Portal 2            &lt;td> Valve            &lt;td> <strong>&lt;del cite="/edits/r192" datetime="2011-05-02T14:23Z">10/10&lt;/del></strong>
+&lt;/table></pre>
+
+  </div>
+
+  <p>Generally speaking, there is no good way to indicate more
+  complicated edits (e.g. that a cell was removed, moving all
+  subsequent cells up or to the left).</p>
