This would be the DokuWiki variant: Problem for me - charet is kind of hard to type on a german keyboard: Charet and than hiting space, it would introduce yet another character that first time users have to look up at their keyboard. It also is not looking like a block for me that is belonging together. 

{{{
^Hading 1  ^ Heading 2
|Cell 1.1  | 1.2
|Cell 2.1  | 2.2
}}}


what about this one
{{{
* Hading * Heading 2
| x1     | x3
| x2     | x4
}}}

If people are open to bigger changes, a strict subset of the table syntax we've discussed for the OLPC document format would be:

{{{
|* Heading 1 *|* Heading 2 *|
|   Cell 1.1  |   Cell 1.2  |
|   Cell 2.1  |   Cell 2.2  |
}}}

Otherwise, we could adopt a bit of the OLPC syntax, and come up with something like:

{{{
|* Heading 1 |* Heading 2
| Cell 1.1   |  Cell 1.2
| Cell 2.1   |  Cell 2.2
}}}
