[oXygen-user] No Easy Way to Set @colsep and @rowsep on Table in Author Mode

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Eliot,

For Oxygen 16 (summer of 2014) we are actively working on more 
table-related features.
You'll have a specific action to modify various properties on an 
existing table among which the @colsep and @rowsep properties you are 
interested in. We'll add easier ways of selecting a table's cells and 
settings various properties to them.

We also have an issue logged in to allow the user to control these same 
options when a new table is inserted. We'll try to fix this issue as 
well in Oxygen 16.

Regards,
Radu
