<p>foo</p>
<table>
<thead>

<th>a</th>
<th>b</th>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td>c</td>
<td>d</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

However in this case, the table is recognized only if it does not interrupt a paragraph:

foo
 a  |  b
--- | ---
 c  |  d

renders to (with -e table):

<p>foo
a  |  b
--- | ---
c  |  d</p>

I would expect the paragraph interruption rule applies consistently no matter how exactly the table is encoded. I.e. either both the cases should be rendered as tables or none of them.
