I think the problem would be how to automatically size the anchored

My own take on the use of dashed lines from a visual perception aspect
is that they will just create a visual buzz that makes it more
difficult to see the data. However, lineless tables when tables are
wide and type is small can make it confusing to see what lines up with
what. The horizontal stripes in light tones would seem to be a
rational approach in those cases. Nonetheless, I don't get to decide
on this one.
Another suggestion from the book I mentioned is to help readers follow
horizontally in wide tables by inserting blank lines periodically --
every 6th line, for example. The resulting 5-line groups are easy to
follow across. I quite agree that dashed lines would be a distracting
nuisance.
