That's a visual aspect, not informational.  If, for example, you want to
print the whole table out or save it to disk, you couldn't.  You could do
something that imitated this if you simply copied the tables over on one
side but still placed them in the main document as well, but then the
problem of keeping the two columns (one in the scrolling frame, the other
in the static frame) identical in content would be very difficult,
particularly for dynamically generated information.
