Frankly, this type of decision has no place in a DTD to begin with. Whether one uses TFOOT before or after TBODY and the rendering-speed ramifications are a decision for the HTML author, not for some arbitrary and unnecessary (and even unjustified) restrictions in the HTML spec. Frankly, considering most current (and likely future) web browsers read the entire HTML contents of a table before rendering it _anyway_, the motivation for this restriction isn't even valid, as there would be no real rendering-speed benefits in most cases anyway. The order of TBODY and TFOOT should be up to the HTML content author to decide. -alex
