Yes, this is entirely accurate.  Bibletime uses its own OSIS processing, 
and hence processes tags like <cell>blah</cell>.  All of the other 
SWORD-based front ends rely on the SWORD engine to do the processing, 
which currently does nothing and passes on the (non-html) tags as html.

It seems like the render engine in xiphos at least picks up the <table> 
tag from OSIS, but ignores all other tags (which is what you would 
expect, it is not being passed anything that means anything as html).

BTW, last I checked xiphos was also fine when you encode a true html 
table into your osis.  It's invalid osis, but it works.  Xiphos is also 
fine with a table in a ThML file (because it's just html).
