The cell padding was a constant in three places that disagreed with each
other, so a narrow column lost 0.38cm it did not have: a bibliography
marker column of 0.71cm wrapped "[2] " onto three lines and every entry
grew with it, costing a fixture a whole page.
The table now carries its own margins (w:tblCellMar, direct or from the
table style; fo:padding on the ODF cell style) and both exports write
them back. A side within a twentieth of a millimetre of the default is
the default, or Word's 108 twips would tag every table.
