Re: db5: info in HTML Tables?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

[responding on the TC list]
I think we should discuss this issue in the TC.  db.html.table cells 
contain markup that is not part of the content model for tables either. 
It is my understanding that DocBook doesn't contain HTML tables, it 
contains some DocBook table elements (in the DocBook namespace) that borrow 
local names from HTML tables.

Would anyone object to adding this issue to this month's TC agenda?

They aren't allowed because they aren't part of the content model
for tables in HTML.
