Which it allready is - in HTML4.
I'm not sure how this comment was relevant to the HTML WG,
Then why even debate in this forum.
What do you mean?
[ ... ]
What exactly in the
HTML4 specification tells you that the header would apply to the
rowgroup
(and just that rowgroup) if the scope= attribute was omitted?
HTML4 says: «The search in a given direction stops when the edge of the
table is reached **or when a data cell is found after a header cell**.»
Hence, it is is possible that the Table Inspector is wrong: I.e. it is
possible that «Refuge des Mottets» should not see both «Day two» as well
as «Day one» as its headers.
Ah, indeed. That makes sense. I'll update the post whenever migration to
my new host is complete. (Site is more or less down (as far as commenting,
editing, etc. is concerned) in between to make migration relatively
painless.)
