I like to make org-mode tables in arbitrary buffers, then
save them as CVS files. The export fails when done from a
buffer with no associated file.
Here's a little patch that allows exporting a table from
any buffer (org-mode version 6.28trans):
A relative row reference like @-1 in a table may now reach across a
horizontal separator line. I hope this will not break any important
tables out there, but I think it is the right thing to do.
The original reason for not-crossing was to implement running
averages of one column in the next. This can now be done using field
formulas near the beginning and end of the column, and a column
formula for the central part.
See the variable `org-table-relative-ref-may-cross-hline' for more
details.

Good idea, I would say.
When yasnippet is active, it is the official binding of TAB. That
means, the org-mode self-insert command must know that it may blank
table fields if the last command was yas/expand.

Standard references like A1 are now allowed in call to
remote().

This commit makes sure that references inside calls to
remote() are not touched.
Undo will now remove up to 20 characters typed consecutively, just
like Emacs normally does. We need a special implementation for this
because Org has its own self-insert command.
The code for doing this is a patch by Martin Pohlack.
Formulas can now refer to fields and regions in other tables, be it in
the same file or even in different files.
This also opens the door for more interesting R support, because
arbitrary tables in a file can now be accessed with appropriate
commands.
Finally, this commit also introduces a convenience for creating
references in tables. For the purpose of references, it will always
be *assumed* that there is another hline at the end if each table. So
for example in a table that has only a single hline, to separate
header from data, you can now access all of column two with
"@I$2..@II$2".
