section 1.3.5 quote:

<<Basic XHTML tables ([XHTMLMOD], section 5.6.1) are supported, but
tables can be difficult to display on small devices. It is recommended
that content developers follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
1.0 for creating accessible tables ([WCAG10], Guideline 5). Note that in
the Basic Tables Module, nesting of tables is prohibited.>>

following the link regarding accessibility guildelines:

Guideline 5 quote:

<<Tables should be used to mark up truly tabular information ("data
tables"). Content developers should avoid using them to lay out pages
("layout tables"). Tables for any use also present special problems to
users of screen readers (refer to checkpoint 10.3).>>
