Oh I see. I guess Justus was suggesting a way to emulate (part of) the
desired layout capabilities by means of existing markup.
I agree that tables are a bit hackish (as they are in most cases in HTML).

Exactly. And my suggestion to introduce some new 'box' markup was
precisely meant to provide hooks similar to HTML divs, so somewhere else
an appropriate layout could be attached to it. To keep it minimally
invasive, it could be restricted to be direct children of
foil/foilgroup, so no actual DB vocabulary would be affected by it.
