If a stylesheet is provided.  In XML, there's no real difference
between

<table>
<row><entry>A cell!</entry></row>
</table>

and

<foo>
<bar><baz>A cell!</baz></bar>
</foo>

These examples create congruent markup, with different names for the
objects.  A stylesheet could create a visual table equally well from
either one; it's just more likely that you'll find a public stylesheet
for the more common table markup schemes.
