I think you missed his point (and the point of this discussion forum). We're here to decide how the system _should_ work as a whole, and in particular, how the specs will read, and how the implementations (at least the ones we have control over) will work, and how the books will read... I'd prefer that the "how to hack table markup to look _just so_ on the limited implementations we have to today" threads be taken to USENET or the HTML writer's guild or some other more appropriate forum. Dan p.s. I still haven't seen much in the form of suggested wording for a spec, test cases, example documents, ... (with the noteable exception Joe English's DTD comments.)
