Moin,
You're supposed to write:
{| class="specific-purpose"
and define the look of the table in the CSS.
Normal users can't edit the CSS.
Users can't edit [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]], but that doesn't mean all
the CSS has to go there. You could use templates (or at least one
template) to include user-editable CSS from elsewhere.
If we followed your logic then
{{red|txt=Red text}}
should be written as:
<span class="red">red text</span>
No, that is a strawman. I am neither arguing against wiki-syntax nor
against templates.
