--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

A special tab requires a reasonable number of controls and a distinctive
workflow so switching between properties (or another tab) and the to be
introduced table tab is not needed too often. We think it's the fact here.
(Automatically switching depending on the context would be a mistake.)

The table style is part of the manipulation and should be placed together with
the other commands on the new tab, perhaps in an extra deck.
And bug 101802 requests to "Consolidate Writer and Draw/Impress sidebar table
design content panel".

Properties should remain as it is for text editing. The supposed workflow is to
create and style a table in the dedicated tab and work on the content with the
properties tab open.
