Better formats would allow to limit a specific input format for a specific content type; it would allow, in example, to permit the use of HTML tables only in book pages, but avoid them in a forum post.

There are many other HTML tags that could be enabled, if it would be possible to limit their use to a specific content type. The module allows then to decide which roles are allowed to use which input format; that means that site maintainers or users with higher role would not have any limitation.

I am moving this feature request to the right queue.

The module would be useful to resolve #558398: Add table elements to Filtered HTML format, and would allow to use the additional tag only on book pages; this would limit the problems caused to the page layout from malformed HTML input created from inexpert users, or spammers.

Since no improve filter control went into Drupal 7 (afaict), this won't be solved when we upgrade. It's about time we fixed this and this is by far the best way to do it.

Better Formats is an awesome module which will allow us (among other things) to decouple comments, handbook and forum formats. I use this module on every site and have never had a problem with it.

I think we should just allow tables for everybody and see if that causes any real problems.

This is a good first step, let's do it. If we then find some problems intractable then...

I added the requeste tags instead.
