We have experimental implementations, e.g. James' script. But you are correct that we have not completed the process for this issue. There is a lot of feedback on the table issue that hasn't yet been considered: http://www.whatwg.org/issues/#semantics-tables It's not an especially high priority, since implementations aren't currently moving on this anyway. I've no intention of playing the yoyo with features in the spec, adding things that we don't necessarily want on the long term just because other features aren't yet implemented. If you are writing complex tables today and want to target ATs today, use HTML4. If there are good reasons to add a feature, or remove a feature, and those reasons have been sent to the list, then they should be in the issues list above, and will be handled in due course. Repeatedly complaining that I'm not acting in good faith is not a productive way of taking part in the work here. I have literally thousands of e-mails to deal with. The more e-mails you send complaining, the less time I have to actually deal with the feedback. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
