I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make tabbing inside tables actually switch to the next cell (and add a new row if in the last cell), this is consistent with text editors if I recall correctly. It breaks the assumption that tab always inserts a tab (two spaces), but we could make shift-tab still insert the two spaces (or use shift-tab for the cell-switching).

Just a thought I had while working inside a table and intuitively hitting tab to go to the next cell, only to see it not working (yet).
