We are using table-reports quite often in our applications, however I 
patched the WATableReport to let the column do the rendering of the 
cells:

	WATableReport>>renderColumn: aColumn row: aRow on: html
		aColumn render: aRow report: self on: html

This approach allows us to have customized rendering within the table, 
like having cells with check-boxes (WACheckboxColumn), drop-down lists 
(WADropdownColumn) or row-specific command links. It is just ugly hack 
- we know - but it makes WATableReport just more useful to us.

Cheers,
Lukas
