Jonathan Gibbons for "css style czar"! ---
I checked the tables at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jjg/8179479-8179592/api/java/util/concurrent/BlockingDeque.html They look perfectly fine, although I feel a twinge of non-collapsed-border-nostalgia. --- Yes, "striped" is a much better name than "altrows". "striped-tables" as you suggest may be better. Choose your names carefully - we can't change them in the future. --- w3.org doc seems to suggest we should only be defining table styles with borders. https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/tabular-data.html#attr-table-border """Tables should not be used as layout aids. """ """User agents, especially those that do table analysis on arbitrary content, are encouraged to find heuristics to determine which tables actually contain data and which are merely being used for layout.
