Not having pre-defined styles for grid-row and grid-cell does not allow you to
code common behavior for grids, e.g, specify paddings, margins, colors, etc...
There are pre-defined styles for table object...however, you have to use
table-group-header1, table-group-header2... table-group-headerN/
table-group-footer2. Would be much better if there was an option to specify
predefined style just for table/grid rows and cells regardless of where this
row or cell is placed on. Not that I am saying let's remove
table-group-header1...etc styles.
To summarize it: ideally, we would like to have the following pre-defined
styles:
• table
• table-row
• table-row-cell
• grid
• grid-row
• grid-row-cell
Having the above styles will allow you to implement "library" behavior for
tables and grids w/o actually having table or grid being placed into the
library (as BIRT while allows to put table/grid into a library does not allow
to change its structure - thus having "frozen" structure table/grid in a
library is kind of totally pointless:)

Good points. Can you log an enhancement for this in bugzilla?
BTW as work around you could add a bit of script in the before factory
that applies an existing lib style to all the mentioned components. You
could put this script in a template and use that as your starter report.
