How does
<table role="presentation">
<tr><td>...
(save namespaces) not satisfy your request? Sure, it's a few
characters more than
<layouttable>
<tr><td>...
or basically any other sane element name, but in return it is
backward compatible, which is a huge benefit. (That's actually pretty
much the only good thing about |role| or any other solution based on
attributes.)
