I believe that the specific concern is with respect to the choice that
has been made.  The current spec says: evacuate all from the table and
emit the header, where it could simply emit the header and leave the
header table alone.

I don't see any particular reason to choose the current option over
what Tatsuhiro is (I think) suggesting, which allows implementations
to shortcut processing.  Do you have a reason that you can share?
