It does not require each element to be equipped with an ID value and can move entire classes of similar elements by means of a single style property. Would the current HTML table proposal, perhaps with the addition of an attribute to indicate the "orientation" of the table, be sufficient, or is there a genuine need for the ability to reorganise a table totally by means of ID values being associated with each cell? I find it hard to envisage circumstances in which such a complete reorganisation would be necessary, except where the table markup is misused, and as mentioned earlier, such a practice should not be tacitly endorsed by the WAI markup work.
