Actually maybe it shouldn't add display tables to ok_tables. I don't know.

Well, private to who? Privacy is a matter of
access/authorization/authentication. You need a user and maypole doesn't
provide that.

access_tables or accessible_tables would be better. ok_tables is easier to
type and is pretty descriptive but it really means these tables are ok to
acess. Since maypole revolves around providing access to tables , that may be
redundant.

My vote -- accessible_tables .
