Hi Hussein, Thanks again for the 'collapsed' colspec's for the display of tables - it has made the editing of my docBook files a *lot* faster (much less scrolling).
Since I have been looking at tables a lot lately, I thought it would be useful / more intuitive to content editors for XXE to *display* the tables in the following order: colspec thead tbody tfooter In other words, display the table footer (tfooter) at the _bottom_ of the table. This seems to me the most intuitive, user-centric way to display tables: head, body, and finally the footer. However, the docBook DTD specifies the following content model for the informaltable element: informaltable ::= (blockinfo?, ((textobject*, (graphic+|mediaobject+|tgroup+))| ((col*|colgroup*), thead?,tfoot?, (tbody+|tr+)))) In other words according to the DTD, the document order must be colspec, thead, tfoot, tbody. Perhaps there is a good reason for this - (anyone?) - but since the styled display exists to help *humans* edit XML documents more easily, this human would prefer a more intuitive view of the table. I realize this may have other implications for the UI, but I think it would be a useful enhancement.
