/ Jirka Kosek <jirka@kosek.cz> was heard to say:
| But HTML table model in DocBook breaks backward compatibility and it
| isn't easy to integrate both CALS and HTML tables at the same time (you
| will get very relaxed DTD for tables which will allow you to create
| mangled CALS+HTML tables)

Paul did some work to demonstrate that the opportunities for mangling
aren't all that great. You can really only mix things at the
thead/tfoot/tbody level.

| And creating two DocBooks -- one with HTML
| tables and second with CALS ones is also not good idea.

Nope. I don't want to do that.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
