Consider this table:
@multitable {foofoo} {barbar}
@headitem foofoo @tab barbar
@item foo @tab bar
@end multitable
It's obvious that this isn't really correct; I have to say
@multitable [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
However, I now get a hard-coded dependency between the font used by
@headitem and the font used to indicate the column widths in the
arguments to @multitable, something I feel uncomfortable with -- it's
bad tagging IMHO.
We probably need a special command to indicate the `headitemfont'.
