Re: table access?

Yep, the spec just says the headers has to be an IDREF and refer to 
cells (presumably user agents aren't expected to deal with references 
that aren't to table cells) but nothing about them being in the same 
table.

Check the implementations - if they were made according to a whole HTML 
view it might work, but don't bet on it. (HTML browsers tend to accept 
all sorts of rubbish, and therefore error handling is unpredictable, 
unlike in XML).
