Default table style question, space before and after

I don't see much difference between this and using unindented paragraphs
following left-aligned headings even though the remainder of the text
paragraphs have a first-line indent. The whole concept of styles is to apply
the formatting that is required for a given purpose, and I see the paragraph
after a table as meeting this test. I set the "Style for following
paragraph" to be whatever flavor of Body Text I'm using for the main
portion, so it's (almost) effortless.

I would like to avoid using special styles in special places.

If the table style would actually put in the space after the last row,
I would have what I want. But something is preventing it from showing
up, even though the style has a setting for it, which I have set
accordingly.

I see this as either a bug, or there is some subtlety about how to go
about setting that option in the table style. Perhaps there is some
setting somewhere that is overriding it or disabling it.

I usually just add Space After to the text before the table and Space

Before
to the paragraph after the table. I have a Body Text Space Before style

I use for this and other applications where I want to leave extra space
above a paragraph.
