I have. Often there was some additional (visual-only) styling to group either a single logical row (which in this case is two physical rows) or a logical colgroup (such as "name" or "address", which Lachlan indicated by axis). In every case, the actual HTML was atrocious and intended only for certain versions of MSIE on certain screen sizes. But in every case, the customer was a large bureaucracy (often governmental), and could have been convinced to follow a metadata standard that aided accessibility if it had been brought up early enough in the contract process. -jJ
