Which won't result in HTML tables in the HTML output.

Yes, the v3 text output for tables need more work.

I would like RrfcMarkup <table> to use these characters instead of 7-bit ASCII.

That requires an update to RFC 7997, which can be done, of course, but
isn't part of the current v3 work.

I'll need an XML source file to debug that.
