both table models, HTML and CSS, are row-centric, i.e. sequential data
is shown horizontally. Sometimes the opposite is desired. Therefore I
wonder if it was feasible to add a boolean 'transpose' attribute to
the 'table' element type? With it set, a table would be rendered
column-progressive despite 'tr' meaning table row; it includes the
row-groups ('thead', 'tfoot' and 'tbody'). Actually I am not sure
whether it is not too presentational and thus would better be done in CSS.
Wouldn't this be possible using display in CSS instead?
Obviously, it would be possible for the UA to offer a transpose
feature. Not sure if we need it for HTML. Is there even a use case for this?
