Hmm, well, I *do* get the error message
tbl:<standard input>:2: unrecognised format `o'
tbl:<standard input>:2: giving up on this table
if I leave out the two format descriptor lines.
If I put them in, everything is okay.

Yes, it appears to be (since it doesn't throw the error),
but it does contain the format descriptors.
On the other hand, I found some other syntax errors:
line 10: \\rq instead of \(rq
line 350: \<* and \>* instead of \*< and \*>
line 178: unknown macro XR (did you mean SX?)
