  I was once told that there is a distinct difference between the
  American use of the term "tabled" and the British use of the term
  "tabled".  In American usage, the term "tabled" tends
to mean that the
  idea has been put aside and is not being actively considered (at least
  at this time).  Not quite the same as "killed" but often the same
  effect.   In British usage, the term "tabled" tends to mean that the
  idea has been brought out and placed on the table for current active
  discussion.

  I might suspect that if Ward used the word tabled, he might have meant
  it more in the British sense than in the American one -- but only he
  can say for sure.
