This made me think using examples from W3C documents was unacceptable? I'm leaving out W3C tables for now. Karl Dubost wrote: > http://www.w3.org/QA/TheMatrix I think this table is noteworthy because it has: * Four distinct columns sharing the "Properties" header (or a list of 4 items, depending how you look at it). * 0 or 1 lists in the final cell of each row. * Empty cells marked "-". * Genuine data for which there is a genuine need. If tables from W3C are acceptable to the Editors, this and others could get into the collection. Thanks for suggesting it. :-) [1] <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007May/1036.html> -- Ben 'Cerbera' Millard Collections of Interesting Data Tables <http://sitesurgeon.co.uk/tables/readme.html>
