This would be the added layout table for enclosing the actual table
and the new additions - but how would the original tables be added?

<table class="wrapper">
  <tr>
     <td><table class="original table, one of many different
tables"><tr>...</table></td>
     <td><div class="new stuff, same for all"/></td>
  </tr>
</table>

OK, I understand. But I'd have to identify the "original" tables or
XPath-pick them carefully because a <table> might crop up as an
element within an "original" table.
