Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to have some vertical stretch in 
xtables so they fill the entire page area. I know this sounds a bit 
bizarre, but it would look good on slides: have an option that will 
automatically calculate the height of every row as \textheight/x for any x.

All best

Thomas

I was thinking of within (calculate height of cell), but between rows 
would be possible too.

xtables only 
or natural tables too?

No, these are completely unrelated implementations and I have no plans 
to extend natural tables (at least not now). Of course you can try what

\usemodule[ntb-to-xtb]

does with your code (but it's not meant as real replacement). Anyway I'd 
rather not touch the already rather complex natural table code.
