    TeX is not HTML. TeX has tables.

    RTF is not HTML. RTF has tables.

    Etc. Neither the concept of tables nor the presence of syntax indicating "this is a table" are unique to HTML. (And I really don't care about HTML here anyhow, just a way to identify the tables in a PDF and suck the data out of them.)
