But would this pivoting requirement rule out a more general TABLE
content model of %body.content with TR's mixed in? (I.e.,
generalizing TABLE into a means for aligning logically related, but
not necessarily coterminous items.)

Remember...as discussed here recently, there are also requirements on
TABLE from database publishing, which need to be considered in the
design.
