If tables are all that you want, then it will take
less than a year. However, I don't see how one could
construe "Import (X)HMTL to the quality we export it"
as "sort-of import tables." There are a lot of other
things that we don't import correctly from XHTML,
besides what lousy support we have for HTML 4.x and
CSS.

Two months is not unrealistic for a beta release. It's
quite ambitious for a final release, IMO.
Thanks for your dedication, in spite of my lack of it
at the moment :)
Best regards,
Dom
