... but that will not address cases when one wants row headers in
addition to column headers.
Note: I have worked on a table model which should address this, which
I'll make available in the AlcoveBook CVS when I get some time. The
basic idea is to allow sub-rows inside rows, with row headers spanning
the sub-rows. It really helps when you need to modify such tables -
no more bookkeeping of "morerows" by hand. For now, implemented as an
XML DTD, and a dsssl stylesheet that transforms those tables into CALS.
