Problem/Motivation
Due to the structure of the row's columns (tds) in the new #type=>table being the built as the elements within them. It is currently not possible to add #attributes to the table data.
Proposed resolution
Allow more of the theme wrapper's #theme=>table functionality access to the #type=>table. Possible to allow rows to be built with #rows as #theme=>table uses and grab the cell data from that in the form_process_table and other callbacks
API changes

<?php
// Building Rows with #type=>table (currently)
foreach ($entities as $id => $entity) {
...
// Some table columns containing raw markup.
$form['mytable'][$id]['label'] = array(
'#markup'=> check_plain($entity->label()),
);
$form['mytable'][$id]['id'] = array(
'#markup'=> check_plain($entity->id()),
);
...
}
