[DL] tableau or tableauX ?

[Christel Kemke]

The actual difference is that "tableaux" is plural and "tableau" is 
singular (it's a french word, and means "table").
And I agree, there should be some consistency in using either version, 
but there is no common agreement or rule on this, as far as I know.
