Re: table access?

Well, the spec is vague about this I think (I could check of course, 
but it is 2am. Look for a note in the attribute definition that says it 
refers only to ids in the same table, or the absence of such a note. 
But I don't know what the implementations do...). You are supposed to 
be able to use thead to achieve the effect you want, but it didn't get 
much implementation in the companies who apparently all voted to make 
it a part of HTML.
