> In Tika 1.5, the RTF TextExtractor class at line 1156 has a TODO for extracting tables out of RTF documents.  I can create a table on a Mac using TextEdit, and in Microsoft Word (although curiously, not WordPad), but Tika should have the ability to extract the table contents to XHTML.
> I found the RTF table element descriptions at the following website:
