Parsing strategy for tables?

I have modified my implementation to what I consider to be the correct behaviour:

Given this input:

| `Column1 |` | Column2 |
| ----------- | ------- |
| 0           | 1       |

the output is:

[meh@meh-host cmark]$ ./build/src/cmark example.md -e piped-tables -t xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "CommonMark.dtd">
<document xmlns="http://commonmark.org/xml/1.0">
  <paragraph>
    <text>| </text>
    <code>Column1 |</code>
    <text> | Column2 |</text>
    <softbreak />
    <text>| ----------- | ------- |</text>
    <softbreak />
    <text>| 0           | 1       |</text>
  </paragraph>
</document>
[meh@meh-host cmark]$

Given this input:

| `Column1 \|` | Column2 |
| ------------ | ------- |
| 0            | 1       |

The output is:

[meh@meh-host cmark]$ ./build/src/cmark example.md -e piped-tables -t xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "CommonMark.dtd">
<document xmlns="http://commonmark.org/xml/1.0">
  <table>
    <table_header>
      <table_cell>
        <text> </text>
        <code>Column1 |</code>
      </table_cell>
      <table_cell>
        <text> Column2</text>
      </table_cell>
    </table_header>
    <table_row>
      <table_cell>
        <text> 0</text>
      </table_cell>
      <table_cell>
        <text> 1</text>
      </table_cell>
    </table_row>
  </table>
</document>
[meh@meh-host cmark]$

Given this input:

| `Column1 |` Column2 |
| -------- | -------- |
| 0       `|` 1       |

Output is:

[meh@meh-host cmark]$ ./build/src/cmark example.md -e piped-tables -t xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "CommonMark.dtd">
<document xmlns="http://commonmark.org/xml/1.0">
  <table>
    <table_header>
      <table_cell>
        <text> </text>
        <text>`</text>
        <text>Column1</text>
      </table_cell>
      <table_cell>
        <text>`</text>
        <text> Column2</text>
      </table_cell>
    </table_header>
    <table_row>
      <table_cell>
        <text> 0       </text>
        <text>`</text>
      </table_cell>
      <table_cell>
        <text>`</text>
        <text> 1</text>
      </table_cell>
    </table_row>
  </table>
</document>
[meh@meh-host cmark]$

Finally, if one wishes to have this last sample not render as a table, it is enough to escape any of the pipes outside of a code block:

| `Column1 |` Column2 \|
| -------- | -------- |
| 0       `|` 1       |

Output is:

[meh@meh-host cmark]$ ./build/src/cmark example.md -e piped-tables -t xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "CommonMark.dtd">
<document xmlns="http://commonmark.org/xml/1.0">
  <paragraph>
    <text>| </text>
    <code>Column1 |</code>
    <text> Column2 </text>
    <text>|</text>
    <softbreak />
    <text>| -------- | -------- |</text>
    <softbreak />
    <text>| 0       </text>
    <code>|</code>
    <text> 1       |</text>
  </paragraph>
</document>
[meh@meh-host cmark]$

I’m happy with this behaviour, seems to solve the issues that were raised here as far as I can tell?
