Great write-up. It’s good to see more attention being given to semantics, and implictly increased style-ability, for tables. I admit that back in the dark days of table design, I often found little use for Tbody or Tfoot, or the like, since all we were using tables for was presentation (tisk tisk). And, now that most layouts are done in CSS, entire months will go by without having to deal with tables at all. Thanks for reminding us about proper usage, and helping to merge the old-school with new methods. Also, gotta love the candy-cane holiday zebra-striped theme!
