I feel similarly about all these HTML improvements (although i would love some CSS variable action like in SASS). Almost any homepage I create that's not a one-shot throwaway for a client is going to running on top of some sort of framework. That means that for any table like this, I'm only going write a single row (at most), and then have my framework iterate over it and turn it into pretty code. I love any time-saving or code-saving functions and features in my code as much as the next guy, but this seems like an unnecessary complication to already rather streamlined coding. Also the fact that any IDE with decent auto-complete will be able to do the same thing with just three strokes instead of all that. (For example, in Eclipse if I type "<tab" then press enter, I get a fully formed pretty table in 5 key strokes.
