I am not propositioning that TABLES be used in any way for horizontal 
layout, nor should they be used for layout at all.  I think the 
requirement for a COLHEAD and COLFOOT is because tables have logical 
sections such as a COLHEAD and COLFOOT.  THEAD marks a specific 
section of TABLE ROWS, thus it's already been assigned to a specific 
layout.

While it is possible that browsers would offer an option to flip 
rows/columns, it would appear doubtful anyone would do so.
