I don't think that's in already.
Do you mean a table model that is an XML subtree of the Jelly source ?
Looks interesting but, as many other models, I have still not seen any 
in-memory-XML-data-structure (JDOM, DOM4j, DOM,...) that came wrapped 
as a model for one of the Swing components.

If it is to be read-only, then it's easy.
But if it is to be modifiable, then one needs XML-mutation events and 
their translation into, e.g. TableModelEvents.

It's been since long in my project-list (for JDOM, in my case) but I 
haven't seen this yet.

I would really enjoy collaborating on this topic (even if it is on 
DOM4j, but please not DOM). Tables might be a good starting point as 
they are pretty easy in terms of data-structure.
