Yes, along with improvements to the header association algorithm and many 
other updates to data tables. A detailed response to table feedback was 
posted to public-HTML by Ian Hickson on 23rd March 2008:

<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Mar/0215.html>

The message includes a snapshot into the research he did, existing research
he took into account and his rationales for choosing particular solutions.
This has become common practice when responding to HTML5 feedback.

Ian has told me over IRC that the tables section will probably remain as-is
for some time.
