DOCUMENT has a problem nesting tables; it adds up the table setup for each
nested table to come up with a grand total, rather than considering each
table within its own "space":
<table>
<table_setup>(5\10\7\10\10)
<table_row>(Johnny\<table>
<table_setup>(4\7\10\10)
<table_row>(Sally...)
<endtable>)
<endtable>
DOCUMENT adds the two table setups in the above code to come up with 64
characters, which is 4 characters too long for s.s doctype. One result is
that the table rows are being crammed into the table in that little bitty font.
I found this out while doing a COMPILE/REVIEW in LSE.
Is there a workaround?
Is it corrected in V1.0?

At first, I thought this was a misunderstanding of the way table
row counts are accumulated, but took another look. I see that
there is a problem with a nested table that is not in the last column
of an outer table. (the counts of nested tables are accumulated
such that if when the nested table is in the last column, it won't
overflow.)
You can work around this problem by doing:
<set_table_threshold>(200\200)
This is the tag used internally to set the maximum values. By setting
this very high, you can get the tag translator to overlook your
values. Note that the text formatter itself may still force the
nested table to the itty bitty font when you try to cram a 4-column
table into a single column of a 5-column table!
