What if both the (:cellnr:) and (:table:) directives could
take a |row which would delineate any attributes meant to
be  passed to the current row.

So we might have: 


(:table bgcolor=blue |row bgolor=yellow:)

We are in the first cell of the table, this entire row will
be yellow

(:cell:)

Second cell, still yellow bg

(:cellnr:)
Second row, bg is blue since the table bg is blue


(:cellnr bgcolor=red |row bgcolor=green:)

Third row, first cell, my bg is red

(:cell:)

Third row, second cell, my bg is green (row is green)

(:cellnr:)

New row, my bg is back to the table bg, blue



  Any thoughts,
