Very interesting idea, post 4.0 I will take this into consideration for the next generation of decision tables.

> The expressive capability of decision tables for non-programmer authors is limited.  Especially, the author has no way to tell the developer to use the value of a property from one column in the condition for another. I can think of two ways that binding semantics could be added:
>   Use the comment cells (i.e. "Age: Person's Age") - this is simple and expressive but would cause problems if an author wants to use the '<word>:' construct in a comment without intending it to be a binding.
>   Add a designated row above or below the comment row.
