How about neither, and just try to comprehend that tables are a common use case that if we haven't perfected yet in HTML editors it's web programmers/standards' fault and not Word's?

And why is that the logic conclusion exactly?
Because tables are a basic, centuries old, typographic feature that is also needed -no ifs or buts- in HTML editors?
Sorry, I was mocking the notion that someone is supposed to interop with Word and that not magically converting from Word is somehow their fault instead of Word's. I can only image it's non standard. In fact, it's probably handled by the user-agent.
