I'm not sure I get the objections of either part here...

I agree with Oliver that the TableModel should be a "backing unit", separate 
from the user interface, but now I'm not quite sure what you mean with 
"interaction between the user and this [displayed] data".

As far as I'm concerned there is still a difference between the possibility 
to edit displayed data (in the interface) and the isCellEditable() in the 
TableModel; the possibility to affect the "backing data".
