That sounds good and seems to avoid the ambiguity of
the suggested (:row:).  

My only grip is that it seems quite different than the
current way of adding attributes to tables, would
there be some way of adding consistency? 

  %cell bgcolor=yellow%
  %table bgcolor=yellow%

How about making these author changeable?

To start with, maybe something like:

  %table indexmax=2 rowclass='ind#'%
  %apply=tr.ind1 background-color:#ddddff%
