While you can't currently have rules without borders, or have horizontal
rules without vertical rules (see my previous posting) you can do the rest of
what you want now. The following markup comes close to what you wanted:

  <table borders>
  <tr align=right>
  <td>
  <td>1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>
  <td>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<br>
  <tr align=right>
  <td align=left>Sub total
  <td>10
  <td>26
  <tr align=right>
  <td>
  <td>5<br>6<br>
  <td>9<br>10<br>
  <tr align=right>
  <td align=left>Title
  <td>21
  <td>45
  </table>

If you could specify <table rules=horiz> then you'd have what you want.
