To my surprise it informed me that <tfoot> wasn't valid XHTML 1.1 strict,
while it is in the document definition:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modulariz...#s_tablemodule
The TFOOT element needs to come before the TBODY element. Tables should
contain, in the following order:
- an optional CAPTION, followed by
- optional COL and COLGROUP elements, followed by
- an optional THEAD element, followed by
- an optional TFOOT element, and then
- one or more TBODY elements

(This hasn't changed since HTML 4.)

If the browser knows how to handle tables - no. The idea is that the
browser could display the header and the footer, right away, then
progressively fill in the body. Even to display the body in a
scrollable box which doesn't overflow the canvas and the header and
footer are visible without scrolling the document.

Yes, and maybe.
My Netscape 4 displays the <tfoot> before the body, but MSIE 4
displays the foot after the body. Netscape 6 displays the <tfoot> at
the end of the table.
Here's the test HTML I used:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head><title>TF OOT test</title></head>
<body>
<table border=2>
<thead><tr><th> col head 1</th><th>col head 2</th></tr></thead>
<tfoot><tr><t d colspan=2>This table contains no useful content
whatever. The present note is inside a <tfoot> ;
tag.</td></tr></tfoot>
<tr><td>cell 11</td><td>cell 12</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell 21</td><td>cell 22</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell 31</td><td>cell 32</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell 41</td><td>cell 42</td></tr>
</table>
</body>

(1) Why? It's optional, so including or omitting it should make no
difference.
(2) As a matter of fact, I did try it both ways, just to see if
there were an obscure bug in NS4. It didn't matter.
Why use <thead> (or am I making a stupid mistake here?)?

To mark up a table header?
Even if you don't care about semantics, it's a great hook for CSS
if (like me) you find many tables benefit from a clear visual
distinction between the headers and data.

Because modern browsers, when printing a long table, will repeat the
column headings at the top of each page if they're inside <thead>.
(Mozilla 1.4 qualifies as a modern browser on this score. I don't
know whether there are any others.)
Once again, why did you suggest putting in <tbody>?

What I'm trying to do here is simultaneously hide 1 or more rows

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I
can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag.
BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put
either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect.
This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling
box change on resize.
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
