I'll call this several steps back in word processing. Using the spacebar for tables and spacing is a pretty bad idea unless you're in a monospaced font, so why even support it? Doesn't HTML support tables for a reason?

Edit: Then again, we are talking about a language written without a tab character, so I guess anything's impossible.
