HTML 2.0 is an IETF RFC, which is the nearest we will ever get. 3.0 was submitted as a draft but then nobody pursued it. 3.2 hasn't even got that far. Tables however are in RFC 1942, and if you want something authoritative on tables then this is it. If Netscape doesn't conform to RFC 1942 that is their problem. Dave Carter
