For illustration purposes, I've put up a sample HTML table at
h.t.t.p.++mywebpages.comcast.net/hmessinger/table-headers.html
(sorry for the munging) that shows a typical arrangement for a printed
table. I used <th> for the row and column headings. If I were using axis and
id attributes, I'd put them in these cells and refer to them in header
attributes. But I'm not sure what to do about the cell reading "Countries"
or about the cell reading "Population". These are more or less
"meta-headers". Should they be <th> as well? Should they have axis, header,
and id attributes? Or should they be left as plain vanilla <td>? (The
*appearance* of these cells, of course, is to be handled by CSS.)
