This default seems to have changed when I upgraded to Asciidoctor 2. The previous version rendered like in this doc: https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/RM/Release-1.0.4/common.html - the first table you see at the time (Doc Id block). A diff of the HTML shows this:

<table class="tableblock frame-all grid-all spread">   // ORIGINAL
<table class="tableblock frame-all grid-all stretch">   // Asciidoctor 2

Now it renders the table with autowidth cols, and on the left. Ideally I would have cols to accommodate the content and the table centred in the content area. I can find no way to do that - [cols="1,1",width=100%] doesn't work; neither does [align="center"], which the documentation says is not implemented, and [%autowidth.stretch] doesn't work either.

I even tried faking it by embedding this table in another one with invisible grid / frame, but to no avail.

How do I either get my table centered (1st preference) or stretched full-width (when it has limited contents)?
