How about defining a technique for describing all sides of a table?
Something in which there could be left, right, top, and bottom elements
that could be defined. I don't know if COLFOOT would really solve this or
not, since a column head seems to simply be a subset of the table head,
rather than an element to define a left "header" or right "footer".
Something Like this could do the trick:
| Column Static Column | Static
v v
------------------------------------------------
| | Jan | Feb | Apr | May | Jun | Total | <-- Row Static
------------------------------------------------
| Bills | 20 | 34 | 234 | 11 | 23 | 322 |
| Pizza ....
------------------------------------------------
| Total | | | | | | | <-- Row Static
------------------------------------------------
