<pre>Correct me if I'm wrong, but this issue seems to not be about tables only, but
any case of "nested numbering", e.g. heading numbers and so on.
And you're arguing that the default should be "First number on the left, last
number on the right" rather than "First number comes first, last number comes
last".
Myself, I like the style you argue for when the numbering involves numerals and
Latin characters, but _not_ when it involves RTL language characters.
Example:
In Hebrew, א is the first character in the alphabet, followed by ב and then ג.
If I read "א.ג" (Aleph on right, then Gimel on left) - I would interpret it as
the third item in the first section/chapter, regardless of whether I read it in
an RTL paragraph or not.</pre>
