Should validate table structure #599

As discussed in the comments on #512, the text output writer does not permit imbalanced tables. That is, after expanding cells based on colspan and rowspan attributes, all rows must have the same number of columns and all columns must have the same number of rows.

The HTML output writer, at least, allows such tables. I am not sure about other writers.

The requirement that tables be balanced should be enforced for all writers to ensure consistent results. Ideally, this should be part of the validation done independent from individual writer classes.
