Enhanced data tables
--------------------
Proposed addition to Web Controls 1.0.
Separate designation for data bearing tables that allow browsers to
provide extended data manipulation features such as:
* Sorting
Standard controls for sorting by each column/asc+desc
Native code for fast sorting of many data
* In-browser pagination
If the dataset is small, there is no reason why a larger number
of data can't be sent to the browser, to allow greater sorting
functionality there. Usable display of larger datasets would be
assisted by pagination.
Etc.
"Calculated cells" could be simply created with DOM and JS, but XPath
could be used for this function as well:
<calculated expression="../../colgroup[id=price]/td">
(Just a thought)
