Well, it gives you back a mouthful of data, too. :)

tableforest = false gives you something like

<tablename>
<row> <!-- where "row" is constant -->
<col1name>data</col1name>
<col2name>data</col2name>
</row>
<row>
...
</row>
...
</tablename>

tableforest = true gives you something like

<tablename>
<col1name>data</col1name>
<col2name>data</col2name>
</tablename>

<tablename>
...
</tablename>

...

I would like that, but I don't know what the defaults should be.
