[html4all] Headers= up

[Leif Halvard Silli]

Don't know what happened to my message ... something ate it.

So I better put it short. Have a look at Ben's message to Publich HTML:

And read Anne's blog. It shows some misconspetions about @SCOPE vs. 
@headers (which I was explaining ... but he make it sound as if 
@headers is almost against the nature of the table.)

I recommend tryhing Anne's table [1] in the table inspector [2]. You 
will see that if you test the table _without_ any attributes at all 
(use the option to turn off @SCOPE and @HEADERS), then it works almost 
the same as it does with the HTML5 algorithm _with_ the @SCOPE 
attributes that Anne applied. (It is of course funny that one can 
achieve the "no attributes" solution that Anne pledges for with HTML4 
- but not in current HTML5 ... )

Rob, or anyone, there is small difference: HTML4 without @SCOPE shows 
more headers - but I think in this case the HTML5 show is better. 
Agree? (Chime in, you aural browsers users!) But what I wonders about: 
how do I make the same happen in HTML4? Hint: the challenge is the row 
with <th colspan="4">, which makes it impossible to use headers="".
