/**
 * <p>
 * Implements View interface for a table, that is composed of an
 * element structure where the child elements of the element
 * this view is responsible for represent rows and the child 
 * elements of the row elements are cells.  The cell elements can
 * have an arbitrary element structure under them, which will
 * be built with the ViewFactory returned by the getViewFactory
 * method.
 * <pre>
 *
 *    TABLE
 *      ROW
 *        CELL
 *        CELL
 *      ROW
 *        CELL
 *        CELL
 *
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * This is implemented as a hierarchy of boxes, the table itself
 * is a vertical box, the rows are horizontal boxes, and the cells
 * are vertical boxes.  The cells are allowed to span multiple
 * columns and rows.  By default, the table can be thought of as
 * being formed over a grid (i.e. somewhat like one would find in
 * gridbag layout), where table cells can request to span more
 * than one grid cell.  The default horizontal span of table cells
 * will be based upon this grid, but can be changed by reimplementing
 * the requested span of the cell (i.e. table cells can have independant
 * spans if desired).
