In the expectation of improvements like the one mentioned here #237 #215 #204 I would like to indicate a solution, but unfortunately I do not have adequate technical knowledge to help develop rvest. Even with the relevant contributions from the rvest, xml2, httr, Rcrawler packages ... I see in the Web Scraping articles that R is passed over to Python.

@georgevbsantiago commenting on an unrelated issue is not the best way to ask for help. I see that all three of the issues you linked to are about html_table(); improving table parsing is a hard job due to the large variety of tables found in the wild and unfortunately is not top of my priorities at the moment.
