We tend to abuse mediawiki tables to do really more than they're designed. This must not be working very well since google spreadsheets are heavily utilized. Sometimes these spreadsheets are copied to the wiki, which leads to the non-canonical resource problem. Instead, a mechanism should be implemented that does fit our usage need. If mediawiki cannot be trained to do what we want, then we should allow the embedding of tables/spreadsheets from e.g. google spreadsheets. I would contend that google spreadsheets are a less than ideal solution, as they are not deployable software, and would advocate a simple REST-ful table webapp, but google spreadsheets seem to be what people want to use.
