I'm with Norm--confused.

To what XHTML model do you refer? 

XHTML is a "reformulation of HTML 4.0 in XML" [1].  
Its semantics are defined by HTML.  The table model is
the same.  If you look at the XHTML spec, there is
a section [2] describing the differences between HTML
and XML, and all it talks about are the obvious 
differences between SGML and XML--nothing about
the table model.

The HTML 4.0 table model [3] has always supported 
tbody+ which is the HTML version of multiple tgroups.
The XHTML model is the same.

The HTML 4.0 table model has always supported 
character alignment; from the HTML 4.0 DTD [4]:

<!-- horizontal alignment attributes for cell contents -->
<!ENTITY % cellhalign
  "align      (left|center|right|justify|char) #IMPLIED
   char       %Character;    #IMPLIED  -- alignment char, e.g. char=':'
--
   charoff    %Length;       #IMPLIED  -- offset for alignment char --"
  >

I also checked the XHTML 1.1 modular table model [5]
to confirm that it is basically the same as the XHTML 1.0
table model and the HTML 4.0 table model.
