To be more precise:  The suggestion above was just to
add the 'table' class to the default HTML output, not
to docx output.

I believe the reason bootstrap et al only style tables
with class 'table' is to distinguish "real" tables
from tables used for layout (e.g. columns) in HTML.
However, it seems to me that all pandoc-produced
tables should be real tables. There may be exceptions,
though -- do people use pandoc tables for layout in
HTML?
